API 650 self-anchored tank anchor bolts

Requirements for prefabrication of the top of large vertical API 650 self-anchored tank: The prefabrication of the tank top shall be prefabricated in blocks according to the drawings. Pay attention to the spacing of the welds after installation when setting out the material. Reinforcing ribs should be formed and inspected with an arc-shaped template. When a single top plate needs to be spliced, butt joints should be used. The forming of a single top plate should be welded between the reinforcing ribs and the top plate on the mould. After forming, check with an arc-shaped sample plate, and the gap should not be greater than 10 mm.

Testing the Outer Tank: While the test pressure is being held, all welded seams and connections in the outer shell and roof shall be thoroughly inspected with a solution film unless they were previously checked with a vacuum box. The API 650 self-anchored tank air pressure shall be released. Pressure relief and vacuum relief valves shall be checked by applying the design gas pressure to the outer tank, followed by evacuation of the outer space to the vacuum setting of the relief valve.

API 650 storage tank is used for commonly used oil, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage. API 650 self-anchored tank Storage tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures for storage tanks.
