API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks requirement

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

The thickness of the API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.

Ultrasonic testing can find the internal defects of API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks welding joint, this detection method is very accurate for the internal layer defects of oil tank, but ultrasonic detection is not suitable for the detection of thin-walled storage tank materials. Dye penetrant testing is only suitable for detecting the defects of the surface opening of API Std 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks and so on metal oil tanks. The feature of this method is convenient and fast.
