API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks joint penetration
Welders participating in the construction of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks must pass the examination and perform welding within the validity period of the qualified items. Special operators such as on-site maintenance electricians, cranes, and shelf workers must hold job certificates. All oil pipelines need to use arc welding for bottoming and electric welding to ensure the welding quality. Oil tanks and process pipelines must be tested for non-destructive flaws in accordance with the flaw detection ratios and methods required by the design and acceptance specifications. The flaw detectors must be certified.Standard Hydrostatic and Pneumatic TestsAfter erection is completed and stress relieving, radiographic examinations, or other similar operations, as may be required, are performed, each tank shall satisfactorily pass a series of hydrostatic and pneumatic tests as prescribed in 7.18.2 through 7.18.6. Whenever a solution film is specified in this section to be applied to welding, linseed oil or another equivalent material for disclosing air leakage may be substituted. In freezing weather, linseed oil or a similarly suitable material shall be used.The attachment welding around all openings and their reinforcements in the walls of the API 620 tank shall be examined by the magnetic-particle method both inside and outside the tank API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks. When the underside of a tank bottom rests directly on the tank grade (and is not accessible after erection), such examination of welding on the underside of the bottom and subsequent air testing may be omitted.Application scope of API 650 petroleum storage tank:1.
