A285 Gr C plates API standard 650 stainless steel storage tanks

Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API standard 650 stainless steel storage tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.

Tanks which are designed following rules and guidelines of API 650 are API 650 tanks. API 650 API standard 650 stainless steel storage tanks is the governing code for Welded tanks for Oil storage normally operating in the atmospheric pressure range. The code API 650 provides guidelines for design, fabrication, material, erection, and inspection of welded vertical and cylindrical storage tanks. Such API standard 650 stainless steel storage tanks Tanks must be above ground with a closed or open top.

The head of API standard 650 stainless steel storage tanks etc. vertical oil tank is the end cover on the top of vertical oil tank. It is used to separate the oil stored in the tank and the medium outside the tank, and also used to bear the pressure on the top of the vertical oil tank. The quality of the head is closely related to the long-term safety of the API standard 650 stainless steel storage tanks. The head surface can be divided into convex shape, cone shape and flat shape according to its shape. The oil tank head can not be disassembled after welding.
