API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks design requirements

API 650 petroleum storage tank has the advantage of long economic life: because there is no gas space on the liquid surface in the internal floating roof API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks storage tank, the vibration generated during the transportation of liquid inside and outside the tank is reduced.

Preheating should be performed by heating and maintaining this heat in appreciable lengths of the joint to be welded, preferably using a strip burner with a mild flame rather than a harsh flame such as that from a cutting torch. Electrical strip heaters are available and have been found to be satisfactory. The preheat of 300°F should be checked with a temperature-sensitive crayon, or similarly accurate means, so that the steel 4 in. (or four times the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks plate thickness, whichever is greater) on each side of the joint will be maintained at the minimum preheat temperature. Ring burners or heaters are recommended for nozzle and manway welds. At no time during the welding should the base metal fall below a temperature of 300°F.

Anti corrosion of API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks:
After using for a certain period of time, it is necessary to check the corrosion protection of the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks. If necessary, the outer wall of the metal oil tank should be painted with new anti-corrosion paint to ensure that the outer wall of the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks does not fall off and has good waterproof and rust resistance.
API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks cleaning:
The long-term use of API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks will produce impurities on the tank wall and deposit on the tank bottom, resulting in tank corrosion to leakage. According to the safety standard of oil tank, the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks shall be cleaned and derusted regularly to ensure the quality of oil stored and the safety of oil tank equipment.
