API standard 650 self-anchored tank removable legs

Tank cracks are common API standard 650 self-anchored tank defects, mainly including tank wall cracks, internal cracks, weld zone cracks. The reason for these defects may be that the defects not exceeding the standard existed in the early stage of API standard 650 self-anchored tank construction, which become obvious after the later use. Or in the process of using the API standard 650 self-anchored tank, the tank body material generated new defects due to corrosion, pressure, wear and other reasons, and tank cracks.

Any joints between the adjacent sections of API 620 oil storage tank stiffening rings, as shown in Figure Q-1, shall be made so that the required moment of inertia of the combined ring-shell section is provided. Weld joints between adjacent sections shall be made with full-thickness and full-penetration butt-welds. Stiffening-ring butt-welds may employ metal backing strips. Backing strips and the associated welding shall be made in a manner that provides a smooth contour in the rat hole and all other weld joint ends. All weld passes shall be started at the rat hole and other weld joint ends and shall be completed by moving away from these ends. Passes shall be overlapped away from edges to provide a smooth continuous weld.
