API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks methods of examining joints

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

Strictly controlling the temperature in the API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks can effectively reduce the volatile consumption of oil in large oil storage tanks. Because the higher the temperature in the oil storage tank, the stronger the activity of oil molecules and the greater the volatilization consumption of the oil. Therefore, the temperature in the API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks must be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to reduce the direct sunlight temperature by painting white anticorrosive paint with good light reflectivity. It is also possible to use spray equipment to wash the top and wall of the API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks with water flow to reduce the volatilization consumption of the oil in the storage tank.

API Std 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks test procedure
The inner tank shall be opened to the atmosphere, and a sufficient amount of water shall be added to the inner tank to balance the upward pressure against the inner tank bottom produced by the pneumatic test of the outer tank; as an alternative, the pressure between the inner and outer tanks can be equalized. API Standard 620 Air pressure shall be applied to the space enclosed by the outer tank equal to at least the design gas pressure but not exceeding a pressure that would overstress either the inner or outer tank.
