Simplified design requirements for API standard 650 insulated tanks
API was established in 1919. It is the first national-level business association in the United States. It is one of the earliest and most successful chambers of commerce in the world to formulate standards. An important task of API API standard 650 insulated tanks is to be responsible for API 650 oil storage tanks and natural gas. Standardization of industrial equipment to ensure the safety, reliability and interchangeability of equipment used in the industry.
Usually, the wind load in the API standard 650 insulated tanks construction area should be considered before the tank design and construction. The wind load in the API standard 650 insulated tanks construction area has an impact on the stability and economy of the API standard 650 insulated tanks. In the area with large wind load, it is safe to design the tank as "squat". When calculating the wind force, the influence of the thickness of the insulation layer of the API standard 650 insulated tanks, the shape of the ladder, the platform, the pipeline and the top cover must be considered.
API standard 650 insulated tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.
