Internal structural members of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom 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 standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom 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.

Crack treatment of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks weld area: find out the crack tip with ray or ultrasonic flaw detection, drill cut-off holes at both ends of the crack with the cut-off method, the hole depth is slightly greater than the crack depth, or groove (crack stop groove) is made by angle grinder at both ends of the crack, shovel and grind the whole crack, and grind it into a suitable groove; use radiographic inspection and dye detection to verify that the crack has been completely excavated, and finally repair welding.

Allowable Design Stresses
The maximum allowable design stresses for the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks materials outlined in Q.2.1 shall be in accordance with Table Q-3.The values for the allowable design tensile stress given in Table Q-3 for materials other than bolting steel are the lesser of (a) 331/3% of the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength for the material or (b) 662/3% of the specified minimum yield strength, but they are 75% of the specified minimum yield strength for the stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Allowable test stresses are based on the limitation of API 620 oil tank storage standard Q.8.1.3.
