API standard 650 mixed material tanks visual examination

The American standard API 650 design has been widely used. We can use our existing professional design knowledge to serve the construction projects of large API standard 650 mixed material tanks storage tanks, oil tanks and water tanks. The company is a small and medium enterprise that can provide American standard API 650 design software, design qualifications, and design capabilities.

Natural ventilation loss: the main cause of natural ventilation loss is that the API standard 650 mixed material tanks is not tightly sealed. This is usually due to corrosion perforation on the top of the oil tank, or there is a height difference between the two orifices. The air tightness of the mixture in the API standard 650 mixed material tanks is higher than that of the air, which causes the mixture gas in the tank to be discharged into the atmosphere from the lower hole, and the external air flows into the tank from the high hole, resulting in natural ventilation loss.

The API standard 650 mixed material 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.
