Erection requirements for API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks
API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API 650 flexible liquid 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 650 flexible liquid 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 cleanliness of the API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks has a great influence on the safety of the tank and the quality of the oil stored. Keeping the API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks clean can slow down the corrosion of the tank wall and reduce the pollution to the oil. If the inside of the API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks is not cleaned all the year round, a lot of rust and metal impurities will be produced in the tank. These impurities will cause the oil to slowly oxidize and deteriorate. The impurities mixed into the oil will also block the filter and oil circuit, causing oil supply failure.
Data Required from Manufacturer on Completed TanksIf specified in the purchase order, the Manufacturer shall supply marked copies of plans (or a separate sketch) showing the location of all plates, with a means of identifying each plate with the heat numbers. These markings shall be checked by the inspector. A copy shall be attached to the Manufacturer’s report.Check of Stress-relieving OperationThe API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks inspector shall check any thermal stress-relieving operation and shall be satisfied that the temperature readings are accurate and that the procedure conforms to the applicable requirements of these rules.
