API Spec 5L pipe API 650 welded steel storage tanks

The API 650 welded steel storage tanks 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.

When API 650 storage tank is designed, when the design pressure is small F2 kPa, the impact of air pressure on the API 650 welded steel storage tanks tank wall thickness is not considered in the tank wall design.

Operation points of sand blasting rust removal for metal storage tank, API 650 welded steel storage tanks:
1. The equipment should be as close as possible to the workpiece to be processed, so as to reduce the pipeline length and pressure loss, avoid excessive pipeline wear, and facilitate the construction personnel to contact each other.
2. The jet pipe should be straight as much as possible to reduce the concentrated wear at the bend. The wear direction of the bend should be changed frequently to prolong the service life of the pipe.
3. Strictly control the process parameters.

The company formulates clear service process and service standard. To do a good job in after-sales service, first of all, clear service process and service standards should be formulated to let employees know which procedures to perform and which service standards to abide by.
