API 650 welded steel storage tanks tack weld

Requirements for prefabrication of the top of large vertical API 650 welded steel storage tanks: 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.

Storage Tank Annular Bottom Plates
Thickness shall be per API 650, Appendix E (with loads modified by requirements of this appendix) plus corrosion allowance unless a thickness increase is required for compliance with Appendix R or Appendix Q. Annular plate width shall be per API 650, Appendix E (with loads modified by requirements of this appendix) unless a width increase is required for compliance with Appendix R or Appendix Q. Thickness used for determination of API 650 welded storage tank standard, Appendix E width shall be based on the thickness required for seismic product hold down.

If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API 650 welded steel storage tanks 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.
