Quality inspection of API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks

storage tanks API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities.

In cylindrical tank walls, the longitudinal weld joints in adjacent shell courses, including compression ring welds, shall be offset from each other a minimum distance of 12 in. The butt-weld around the periphery of a thickened insert plate, or the fillet weld around the periphery of a reinforcing plate, shall be at least the greater of 10 times the shell thickness or 12 in. from any butt-welded seam or the bottom-to-shell or roof-to-shell joint. As an alternative, the insert plate (or the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks reinforcing plate in an assembly that does not require stress relief) may extend to and intersect a flat-bottom-to-shell corner joint at approximately 90 degrees.
