API standard 650 self-anchored tanks fabrication

Before the start of erection, inspect each API 650 tank foundation to ensure that it is level and acceptable to receive Work. Remove temporary erection attachments welded to the interior or exterior of the API standard 650 self-anchored tanks shell or to the bottom by arc gouging, and grind weld area smooth.

The factors that affect the "small breathing" loss of API standard 650 self-anchored tanks are: 1. Generally, the larger the storage tank is, the larger the total open area is, the larger the evaporation area is, and the greater the "small breathing" loss is; conversely, the smaller the storage tank is, the smaller the evaporation area is and the smaller the "small breathing" loss is. 2. It is related to the atmosphere. The lower the atmospheric pressure is, the greater the "small breathing" loss is; otherwise, the loss is reduced.

Except as permitted by API standard 620 Q.8.6, the test shall be conducted after the entire tank is complete, before the insulation is applied. Except as limited by foundation or stress conditions, the test shall consist of filling the tank with water to the design liquid level and applying an overload air pressure of 1.25 times the pressure for which the vapor space is designed. The load on the supporting foundation shall preferably not exceed the established allowable bearing value for the tank site. Where a thorough evaluation of the foundation justifies a temporary increase, the established allowable bearing may be increased for the test condition, but the increase shall be not more than 25%.
