API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks striking plates

When encountering heavy rain or continuous heavy rainfall, the safe operation of API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks will be affected. For example: the API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks is submerged, the oil unloading valve and the flame arrester valve are broken by water and the oil tank leaks. The oil tank area must do emergency work to prevent rainstorm to ensure the safety of the oil tank. Here are some safety protection measures for API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks in heavy rain.

The API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

Due to other non-steel quality reasons caused by the customer dissatisfaction, to timely explain to the customer, and help them solve the problem, for the customer really because of their own reasons, to give patient reply.The process of objection handling is the process of our technical service.

API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantage of long economic life: because there is no gas space on the liquid surface in the internal floating roof API standard 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks storage tank, the vibration generated during the transportation of liquid inside and outside the tank is reduced.
