API 650 closed top welded storage tanks examination, inspection, and repairs

API 650 is constructed from carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel, and API 650 closed top welded storage tanks aluminium A Welding Certification is stipulated by American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Section 10. There is a required inspection, no third party. The inspection cost is the cost of the NDE.

Requirements for prefabrication of bottom plate of large vertical API 650 closed top welded storage tanks:
1. The diameter of tank bottom should be enlarged by 0.1% ~ 0.15% according to the design diameter.
2. The minimum dimension of edge plate along the radius direction of tank bottom shall not be less than 700mm.
3. The distance between any adjacent welds of the base plate shall not be less than 300 mm.

Proof Tests for Establishing Allowable Working PressuresBecause pressures in liquid storage tanks built according to these rules vary quite markedly from the tops to the bottoms of the tanks, proof testing of these tanks presents problems not usually encountered in the construction of unfired pressure vessels–especially where the API 650 closed top welded storage tanks parts under investigation are located near the bottoms of the tanks. The principal difficulty is devising a test or series of tests that will reliably establish the working pressure that can be permitted on the part of the unproven design without, at the same time, imposing hazardous conditions on other parts located at higher levels in the tank.

BBN company team and culture: tt the end of 2019, in order to thank employees for their hard work and enrich their sparetime lives, the company organized a pleasant trip to Phuket Island, Thailand.
