API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks roof venting
Impact Test Requirements for Oil storage tanks Primary ComponentsAll API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks primary components of 9% or 5% nickel steel shall be impact tested in accordance with Q.2.2.2 through Q.2.2.4. Impact testing is not required for primary components of austenitic stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Welds in high-alloy (austenitic) stainless steel shall be impact tested if required by Q.6.3.Impact testing of plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with the following:a)Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling. b)Charpy V-notch specimens shall be cooled to a temperature of –320°F for A353, A553, and A645 steels for impact testing.
Under the same sealing effect, the internal floating roof tank of API 650 oil storage tank can further reduce the evaporation loss compared with the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks External floating roof tank. This is due to the shielding of the fixed roof and the gas layer between the fixed roof and the internal floating plate, which has more significant heat insulation effect than the double disc floating roof of the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks external floating roof tank.
Unqualified welding quality of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks is prone to hidden dangers such as oil tank steel plate cracks and leakage. To avoid this situation as much as possible, it needs to be avoided when the oil storage tank is manufactured. Scientific and reasonable measures are adopted to control the welding quality when welding the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks. How to reasonably control the welding process quality of oil storage tanks?
