API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks allowable longitudinal membrane compression stress in shell

Fixed roof API 650 oil storage tank includes inner floating roof tank, which API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks can effectively prevent sand, rain, snow or dust from polluting the storage liquid. Under various weather conditions, API 650 oil storage tank can ensure the quality of liquid storage, which is called "all-weather API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks storage tank".

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks. The common API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

API 620 Tank Standard Post-heat Treatment (Stress Relief)
The post-heat treatment now performed on pressure vessels is of established value, although the mechanism by which the improvement is realized may be open to debate. Post-heat treatment of API standard 650 liquid-storage tanks tank sections when the plate thickness exceeds 11/4 in. is required as stated in 5.25. In special cases, the possibilities of post-heat treatment after erection should be explored. Post-heating an insulated tank may be possible if an ample source of heat is readily available and if the rigidity of the tank is adequate.
The thermal stress-relief treatment performed on pressure vessels is recognized as a means for reducing the probability of brittle failures.
