API 650 open top welded storage tanks vertical shell joints

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 650 open top welded storage tanks 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 650 open top welded storage tanks tanks below 5000 m.

In December of 2015, our regular India customer sent us an inquiry for API 650 open top welded storage tanks pipe. The inquiry requires no negative tolerance in both pipes’ outer diameter and pipe wall. After two weeks’ discussion, he put the order of 275 tons to us. The pipes are finished within just one month. Our customer come to our factory to inspect the quality and tolerance, all the products are well meet his demand. The pipes are arriving to Nhava Sheva port, customer is very happy with our products and service during the process.

Deformation of the welding seam of the API 650 open top welded storage tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API 650 open top welded storage tanks, which easily causes the tank body to leak and affects the safety of the oil storage tank. The welding seam deformation of the API 650 open top welded storage tanks is mainly caused by the lack of reserved welding seam gap and irregular operation. The oil storage tank has not reserved the corresponding weld gap, resulting in deeper root removal during the front welding activity. The heat output of the weld will increase under the influence of a long time, and the deformation of the weld will gradually become serious.
