API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks welding procedure and welder qualifications

Before pressure test, the main drain hose system of API 650 petroleum storage tank floating roof should be thoroughly flushed. Provide blind flanges, gaskets and bolts required for the API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks test (other types of covers are also required if necessary). Covers for maintenance shall be provided in accordance with the interfaces specified by API 650 petroleum storage tanks, and these seals shall remain in place after the test; and for those interfaces that are not provided for maintenance covers, the covers can be removed after the API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks test.

Foundations and subgrade shall safely carry the weight of the tank API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks and its contents when the tank is filled with water to the highest level required for a hydrostatic test or other water-loading operations, even though the tank itself may be designed for some lesser density of liquid. However, in cases where the character of the soil justifies it and a competent soil expert advises it, allowance may be made for the relatively short duration and intermittent nature of the water loadings if suitable account is taken of all such loadings that may be expected to occur during the life of the tank, including not only those loadings that are incidental to periodic repetitions of the hydrostatic test in accordance with 7.18 but also water-filling operations for gas-freeing purposes.

During the use of API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks, the tank material is prone to crack and leakage under the action of pressure, corrosion, wear and other conditions. Especially in the oil producing area, the temperature difference in four seasons is large and the natural environment is bad, which will accelerate the consumption of oil storage tank and cause many potential safety hazards. Therefore, the API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks must undergo strict inspections before being put into use after the production and installation are completed, so as to avoid cracks and leakage in short-term use and affect production safety.
