Fabrication of API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks
Prefabricating API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks components before construction can improve construction efficiency, save time and cost, and is currently a common method for the construction of large vertical storage tanks. The main prefabricated components of a large vertical API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks include the tank body, the storage tank wall, the top of the storage tank, the bottom of the storage tank, and the accessories of the storage tank. The prefabrication of the components should follow a reasonable workflow, and carry out appropriate heat treatment and testing, so as to improve manufacturing accuracy.
The API 620 large storage tank nozzle neck is fabricated by welding from 1/2-in. plate. The materials in the tank wall, the nozzle neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank wall are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The longitudinal joint in the nozzle neck is of the same type API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks but is not radiographed; however, the longitudinal joint and all other parts of the nozzle-and-wall-plate assembly have been shop stress relieved after fabrication, as required by 5.25. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-6 shall be determined.
One of the most widely used design codes is the API 650 Standard, from the American Petroleum Institute. The main objective of this standards API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks is, through the requirements contained in its various sections, to facilitate the purchase and construction of vertical, aboveground, welded fabricated tanks assuring that required safety regulations are met.
