Inspection requirements for API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks
High temperature heat transfer oil fin tube heating device for large API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks has the advantage of reducing the leakage of heating coils. The heating medium of the large storage tank heating device is high-temperature heat-conducting oil. The boiling point of the heat-conducting oil is high, usually higher than 200°C. At high temperatures, the pressure on the heat-conducting oil circulation pipeline is very small, which greatly reduces the occurrence of heating coil leakage accidents. At the same time, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tube is guaranteed.
Structural shapes of 9% and 5% nickel steel may be furnished to the chemical and physical requirements of ASTM A353, A553, or A645. Physical tests shall be in accordance with the requirements of ASTM A6.API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks used Piping, Tubing, and ForgingsMaterial used for piping, tubing, and forgings shall be compatible in welding strength, and thermal expansion coefficient with the tank shell material. In addition to the specific requirements of this appendix, all piping within the limitations of 1.3.2 shall fulfill the minimum requirements of ASME B31.3.
API 650 storage tank is used for commonly used oil, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage. API Std 650 flexible liquid storage tanks Storage tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures for storage tanks.
