ASTM A216 grade WCA external floating roofs API standard 650 self-anchored tank

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 API standard 650 self-anchored tank is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI, used to store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals, and produced water. BBN has extensive experience in API standard 650 self-anchored tank API 650 tanks with diameters between 8'-300', suitable for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other customers.

For the welding of API standard 650 self-anchored tank bottom, attention should be paid to the slag removal and drying of the welding joint before welding, and there is no sediment and oil contamination in the lap joint of steel plate. The manufacturing quality and production efficiency of the central plate can be obviously improved by adopting the rolling central plate. The butt joint is used between the rolling plates to improve the installation conditions of the central plate at the bottom of the API standard 650 self-anchored tank. The welding sequence of the central plate is from the center of the central plate to the surrounding.

Impact Test Requirements for Oil Storage Tanks Primary Components
All API standard 650 self-anchored tank 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.
