API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks hydrostatic testing requirements

Weld inspection of API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks, vertical oil tank wall plate: In the welding inspection process of oil tank wall plate, attention should be paid to the defects of thick wall plate, such as incomplete penetration, incomplete root fusion and cracks. If there is a root incomplete penetration defect, it is necessary to open the weld joint with carbon arc air gouging and grinding machine grinding, or even weld through, and then weld again after the defect is removed.

Above the water level, all API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks welded joints, all welds around openings, and all piping joints against which the pneumatic pressure is acting shall be checked with a solution film. A visual inspection may be substituted for the solution-film inspection if the welded joint has previously been checked with a vacuum box. The solution-film inspection shall still be made, above the water level, on all welds around openings, all piping joints, and the compression ring welds, including the attachment to the roof and shell.

The liquid level of API 650 oil storage tank is covered by floating roof. The storage liquid of API 650 oil storage API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks tank is isolated from the air, reducing air pollution, fire and explosion hazards, and easy to ensure the quality of liquid storage. It is especially suitable for the API 650 carbon and low-alloy steel tanks storage of high-grade gasoline, jet fuel and toxic and easily polluted liquid chemicals.
