API 650 unanchored tanks roof and top-angle joints

API 650 petroleum storage tank pipeline stress and product pressure, tank pressure, uniform or non-uniform temperature difference between the tank wall and the tank bottom, which cause the radial displacement and longitudinal rotation of the API 650 unanchored tanks tank wall at the opening to affect the oil tank wall The impact is obvious. Therefore, the design must ensure that the load applied by the external pipeline on the opening of the tank wall is within the safety limit. If the stress of the API 650 unanchored tanks connecting piping is not handled properly, the wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank may deform or even rupture, causing a major accident.

The main types of metal storage tanks are vertical dome roof tank, vertical external floating roof tank, vertical inner floating roof tank, spherical oil tank and horizontal oil storage tank. API 650 unanchored tanks is vertical tank. The capacity of vertical dome roof oil storage tank is generally less than 10000 cubic meters. The wall plate adopts sleeve type fillet weld, and it is usually installed by inverted or forward installation method during construction.

All API 650 unanchored tanks fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole, and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.
