API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks design external pressure

Welding certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For both API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks storage tank API 650, non-destructive inspection is required, but third-party inspection is not required.

The mechanical seal of floating roof API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks relies on mechanical force to press the sealing steel plate tightly against the tank wall, so that it can slide on the tank wall and avoid gap as far as possible. However, mechanical seal has high requirements for the geometry of storage tank and poor adaptability, so mechanical seal is rarely used in newly built floating roof API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks.

The thickness of the API standard 650 closed top welded storage tanks annular bottom plates shall be in accordance with Table Q-4 (for steel or aluminum, as applicable). The thicknesses shown are minimums. The ring of annual plates shall have a circular outside circumference, but it may have a regular polygonal shape inside the tank shell with the number of sides equal to the number of annular plates. These pieces shall be butt-welded in accordance with Q.7.1.1, Item b. The plates of the first shell course shall be attached to the annular bottom plates by a weld as required by API 620 oil tank 5.9.5 except when a full-penetration weld is used or required (see Q.7.1.1). Butt-welds in annular plates shall be not closer than 12 in. from any vertical weld.
