API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank vacuum testing

API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank, Oil tanks can be divided into above ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, offshore tanks and submarine tanks according to their installation positions. Oil tanks can be divided into crude oil tanks, fuel oil tanks, lubricating oil tanks, edible oil tanks, etc.. According to the use of oil tanks, oil tanks can be divided into production tanks, storage tanks, etc.. According to the external style, oil tanks can be divided into vertical tanks, horizontal tanks, etc.. According to the composition structure, oil tanks can be divided into fixed roof storage tank, floating roof tank, spherical tank, etc.

Investigation of Subgrade
On actual steel storage tank sites to be used, test borings or test pits, or both, may be made at the direction of a competent engineer who will specify the number and location. They need not be equally spaced but should be laid out to uncover possible weak spots.
In general, test loadings of subgrade at the bottom of test pits need be resorted to only when such heavy loading as may be imposed by footings for major column supports for spheres or similarly elevated API 620 low-pressure tanks is specified. Results may be deceptive if average load-bearing capacity over a considerable area is wanted. All field data shall be recorded with maps, and copies shall be supplied to all engineers concerned with design, erection, and later operation.

If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees F. It requires that you have a minimum material thickness of 3/16 inch.
