API standard 650 carbon steel tank roof drains

Inspection of Welded storage tanks Surfaces Exposed during FabricationThe edges of API standard 650 carbon steel tank plates, openings and fittings exposed during fabrication shall be inspected carefully to make sure that any defects have been uncovered, as well as to determine that the work has been performed properly.Minor defects found may be repaired only after the inspector approves the method and extent of repairs. Materials that have more than minor defects that cannot be satisfactorily repaired shall be rejected.Spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination shall be not less than 6 in. extending along the weld. Spot radiography shall comply with the standards given in 7.15.1.3. Where spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination is applied at joint intersections, the surface shall be prepared and examined for a distance of 3 in. on each side of the intersection, making the minimum length of examination 6 in. on the horizontal weld and 3 in. on the vertical weld.

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API standard 650 carbon steel tank tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

High temperature heat transfer oil fin tube heating device for large API standard 650 carbon steel tank has the advantage of high heat transfer efficiency. The high-temperature heat-conducting oil finned tube heating device adopts high-efficiency outer finned tubes. The outer finned tube coils are immersed in a water bath. Compared with ordinary light tubes, the contact area between the evaporation coils and the medium is increased. The total heat transfer coefficient of the coil is determined by the heat transfer coefficient outside the tube. This increases the heat flux per unit tube length and improves the overall heat transfer efficiency.
