API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks annular ring requirements

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

The normal operation of API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks includes receiving oil, storing oil, sending oil and measuring oil. The correct use and operation of oil storage tank is directly related to the production safety and oil loss of oil tank. In order to use and operate the API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks correctly, it is necessary to be familiar with and master the structure and performance of the API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks and its accessories, such as the maximum storage capacity of the oil tank, the pressure range that can bear and the safety fabrication specification.

Standard Hydrostatic and Pneumatic TestsAfter erection is completed and stress relieving, radiographic examinations, or other similar operations, as may be required, are performed, each tank shall satisfactorily pass a series of hydrostatic and pneumatic tests as prescribed in 7.18.2 through 7.18.6. Whenever a solution film is specified in this section to be applied to welding, linseed oil or another equivalent material for disclosing air leakage may be substituted. In freezing weather, linseed oil or a similarly suitable material shall be used.The attachment welding around all openings and their reinforcements in the walls of the API 620 tank shall be examined by the magnetic-particle method both inside and outside the tank API Std 650 stainless steel storage tanks. When the underside of a tank bottom rests directly on the tank grade (and is not accessible after erection), such examination of welding on the underside of the bottom and subsequent air testing may be omitted.
