Open top API Std 650 special tank

API 650 storage tank is used for commonly used oil, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage. API Std 650 special tank 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.

No matter what type of storage tank needs to be built, the natural conditions of the geographical area where the tank is located should be fully considered in the design. Because natural conditions will affect the service life, storage safety and construction cost of storage tanks such as API Std 650 special tank. Generally, the natural conditions that need to be considered before API Std 650 special tank design and construction are: regional temperature, wind load, snow load, ground endurance, external environment corrosion, etc.

Inspection of low-pressure storage tank Butt-weldsComplete penetration and complete fusion is required (to the degree mandated by the acceptance criteria for examination method utilized) for welds joining tank wall plates to API Std 650 special tank tank wall plates. Examination for quality of welds shall be made using either the radiographic method specified in API 620 standard 7.15.1 and applied in 7.17, or alternatively, by agreement between the Purchaser and the Manufacturer, using the ultrasonic method specified in 7.15.3.1. In addition to the radiographic or ultrasonic examination, these welds shall also be visually examined as specified in 7.15.5. Furthermore, the Purchaser’s inspector may visually inspect all butt-welds for cracks, arc strikes, excessive undercuts, surface porosity, incomplete fusion, and other defects.
