5454 aluminum pipe API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks. The common API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

The company strengthens process management and pays attention to assessment. One of the key points of good service is to strengthen the process management and improve the evaluation mechanism. Make the after-sales service system more perfect and provide better service for customers.

Ultrasonic Examination of Butt-welds in Plates
Butt-welds in all tank wall courses subjected to a maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, greater than 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of the API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks plate material shall be completely examined.
Butt-welds in API 620 oil tank wall courses subjected to maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, less than or equal to 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of plate material shall be spot examined in accordance with Figure Q-2.

Before pressure testing, thoroughly flush the API 650 tank floating roof primary drain hose system. Supply API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks blind flanges, gaskets, and bolting (for other types of blanking covers as may be required) necessary for testing.
