API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks sheets
API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.
Compared with the fixed roof API 650 oil storage tank without API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks floating roof, there is no evaporation space. In principle, this eliminates the so-called "large breathing loss". Evaporation not only causes the loss of product quantity, but also affects the quality of API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks product and pollutes the environment.
API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks Oil measuring hole: The oil measuring hole is used to measure the height, temperature and sampling of the oil stored in the tank, and is installed near the tank top platform. API standard 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks Fire extinguisher: The fire extinguisher (also known as the flame arrestor) of the oil tank is composed of a fire box, a copper wire mesh and an aluminum partition. It is installed under the breathing valve or safety valve to prevent sparks and air from entering the inside of the tank through the breathing valve or safety valve and causing accidents.
