API standard 650 welded storage tanks dimensional tolerances

As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.The API standard 650 welded storage 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.The calculated thickness of the above-mentioned wall panels required by the hydrostatic pressure is also It API standard 650 welded storage tanks should be increased by the same ratio, unless special analysis is performed to determine the seismic overturning moment and the corresponding stress at the bottom of the wall of each layer of API 650 tank.Management concept: abide by laws, regulations and social norms. To improve the system of management, to carry out activities with high corporate ethics. Mutual respect, unity and harmony, create a "fair, just and open" good working environment for employees. Forge ahead, constantly pursue new technology innovation, create social value, and become a sustainable growth enterprise.Weld inspection of API standard 650 welded storage tanks, vertical oil tank wall plate: In the welding inspection process of oil tank wall plate, attention should be paid to the defects of thick wall plate, such as incomplete penetration, incomplete root fusion and cracks. If there is a root incomplete penetration defect, it is necessary to open the weld joint with carbon arc air gouging and grinding machine grinding, or even weld through, and then weld again after the defect is removed.
