When welding API 650 vertical welded storage tanks, in order to avoid weld deformation, it is necessary to use corresponding welding process according to the type of steel used in the tank, such as welding requirements of steel plate, welding position, etc. Reasonable arrangement of the assembly sequence, the use of subsection back welding and jump welding method, strict control of welding process parameters, rigid fixation measures, take corrective measures for deformation compensation are necessary.

API 650 vertical welded storage tanks Pressure-relieving DevicesTanks shall be protected by automatic pressure-relieving devices that will prevent the pressure at the top of the tank from rising more than 10% above the maximum positive gauge pressure except as provided in API 620 standard 9.2.2.Where an additional hazard can be created by the exposure of the tank to accidental fire or another unexpected source of heat external to the tank, supplemental pressure-relieving devices shall be installed. These devices shall be capable of preventing the pressure from rising more than 20% above the maximum positive gauge pressure. A single pressure-relieving valve may be used if it satisfies the requirements of this paragraph and 9.2.1.
