API standard 650 self-anchored tank manual welding

API 650 is widely used for tanks that are designed to internal pressures of 2.5 PSI or less and store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and API standard 650 self-anchored tank produced water. Advance Tank has extensive experience with API 650 tanks ranging in diameter from 8' - 300' for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other clients.

All API standard 650 self-anchored tank fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole, 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 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.

Static storage loss is also known as "small breathing" consumption. The rise and fall of the temperature in the API standard 650 self-anchored tank leads to the increase and decrease of the pressure in the tank, which makes the mixed oil gas discharged from the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption. Fluid level loss is also called "big breathing" loss. It is the oil consumption caused by the change of gas space volume in the API standard 650 self-anchored tank during the oil receiving and sending operation, which causes the mixed oil gas to be discharged out of the tank, and the external air is sucked into the tank, resulting in the oil consumption due to the change of liquid level height.
