The lip seal of floating roof storage tank, API 650 welded tanks for oil storage relies on the sliding contact between elastic lip and tank wall. This kind of seal has strong applicability, but the requirements of manufacturing technology and material selection are high, and the determination of elastic seal also exists. The secondary seal of floating roof storage tank, API 650 welded tanks for oil storage is to add a seal on the basis of primary seal. It is proved by experiments that the secondary seal can reduce the liquid consumption by more than 50%, and has a more significant effect in safety.

The API 650 welded tanks for oil storage stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), 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 the detail that includes 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.
