API standard 650 SUG II tanks metal temperature during hydrostatic testing

According to API standard 650, the stairs used for API 650 petroleum storage tanks or thermal insulation tanks should be double longitudinal beams supported by a minimum of ribs. If the gap between the API standard 650 SUG II tanks tank shell and the stringer of the API 650 petroleum storage tank exceeds 200mm, handrails should be provided on both sides of the stairs. Unless otherwise specified, according to API standard 650 SUG II tanks ASTM A123, the following accessories shall be hot-dip galvanized. The damaged zinc coating should be repaired with zinc alloy.

Before welding the API standard 650 SUG II tanks, the professional skills of the welding personnel shall be fully assessed to ensure that the operators meet the corresponding welding qualifications. According to the technical standards, scientific and feasible process requirements are actually formulated. In the process of welding the edge plate of API standard 650 SUG II tanks, electric welding is required on one side of the edge plate, so that the edge plate has a free shrinkage effect and greatly reduces the residual stress of the welding seam.

Aftershock Level Earthquake (ALE)
This design case shall be applicable only when regulations or project documents specifically require the tank system to be designed or evaluated for aftershocks.
If the outer tank is not designed as a secondary containment (i.e. it serves as vapor barrier and pressure boundary only and is not constructed of API 620 material suitable for the inner tank API standard 650 SUG II tanks), then no design or evaluation for ALE is required by these provisions for the inner or outer tank.
