API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks threaded connections

The standard API 650 covers the design and calculation of different parts of the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks fuel tank. This specification is based on the knowledge and experience of buyers, manufacturers and users of API 650 welded storage tanks of different sizes and capacities. It is worth noting that the code requirements are minimal; stricter standards can be adopted for specific applications.

Compared with the external floating roof API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks, the internal floating roof API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks has the advantages of protecting the floating roof from wind and rain and ensuring the quality of liquid storage under the floating roof. At the same time, because the inner floating plate is in the tank, there is no rain and snow load, so the central drainage pipe and escalator and other accessories on the floating plate can be omitted. In addition, under the same sealing conditions, the internal floating roof tank can further reduce the evaporation loss compared with the External floating roof tank.

The insert plate weld shall not cross any shell seams and shall be at least the greater of 10 times the shell thickness or 12 in. from any other weld in the API standard 650 aboveground petroleum storage tanks shell including shell seams, shell-to-bottom weld or attachment welds. The butt weld around the periphery of the plate shall be examined over 100% of its length by both liquid penetrant method and radiographic method. The liquid penetrant examination is required on the root pass, on the back-gouged surface, and on the inside and outside finished weld surfaces. Additionally, the weld shall be vacuum box leak tested.
