ASTM A131 structural shapes API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks

Pipeline transportation of API 650 oil tank is not less than the maximum consumption of 3 to 5 days. The daily operating time of API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks office buildings and fuel oil equipment is 12-16 hours; for high-end residential hotel buildings, the daily operating time is 16-24 hours.

Natural ventilation loss: the main cause of natural ventilation loss is that the API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks is not tightly sealed. This is usually due to corrosion perforation on the top of the oil tank, or there is a height difference between the two orifices. The air tightness of the mixture in the API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks is higher than that of the air, which causes the mixture gas in the tank to be discharged into the atmosphere from the lower hole, and the external air flows into the tank from the high hole, resulting in natural ventilation loss.

The API standard 650 cylindrical welded storage tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.
