6061 aluminum shapes API standard 650 special tank

Welding of API 620 Steel storage tank Primary Components
The following primary components shall be joined with double butt-welds that have complete penetration and complete fusion except as noted:
Longitudinal and circumferential shell joints and joints that connect the annular bottom plates together. When approved by API standard 650 special tank Purchaser, these may be welded from a single side provided temporary non-fusible backing is used with complete penetration and complete fusion. Both sides of the joint shall be 100% visually examined as specified in 7.15.5.

In Appendix E to API 650 oil storage tank, the maximum values of inertia force, pulse pressure and convection pressure are superimposed, and tend to be conservative.In GB50341, only pulse pressure is calculated for API standard 650 special tank tanks below 5000 m.

Oil storage tank with floating roof structure: The floating roof in the API standard 650 special tank oil storage tank can effectively reduce the volatilization consumption of oil, because the gas space on the oil liquid surface in the floating roof storage tank is small, the exhaust volume is low, and the breathing loss is very small. That can reduce the volatilization loss caused by the "big breath" of the API standard 650 special tank. Strengthen the inspection and maintenance of API standard 650 special tank: regularly check the sealing conditions of oil storage tanks, and check and maintain important auxiliary equipment to ensure good sealing performance.
