Impact Test Requirements for Oil Storage Tanks Primary Components
All API Std 650 larger diameter tanks primary components of 9% or 5% nickel steel shall be impact tested in accordance with Q.2.2.2 through Q.2.2.4. Impact testing is not required for primary components of austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Welds in high-alloy (austenitic) stainless steel shall be impact tested if required by Q.6.3.
Impact testing of plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with the following:a)Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling. b)Charpy V-notch specimens shall be cooled to a temperature of –320°F for A353, A553, and A645 steels for impact testing.

In order to prevent the deformation of the bottom of metal vertical API Std 650 larger diameter tanks during welding, comprehensive control measures such as strict control of assembly geometry size, reasonable welding procedure, process control of welding deformation and rigid fixation are adopted during assembly welding. The specific methods are as follows:
1. Strictly control welding groove forming of API Std 650 larger diameter tanks.
2. Strictly control the size of tank welding seam assembly.
3. Define the welding sequence of tank bottom plate.
4. Reasonable distribution of welders.
