API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks with a berm foundation

API 650 petroleum storage tank stipulates that if the thickness of the lower siding obtained by calculating the anti-overturning moment is greater than the thickness of the API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks hydrostatic pressure test (both do not include the corrosion margin), the calculated thickness of the above siding required by the hydrostatic pressure is It should also be increased by the same proportion, unless special analysis is performed to determine the seismic overturning moment and corresponding stress at the bottom of each layer of API 650 petroleum storage tank wall.

The factors affecting the "small breathing" loss of API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks are: 1. It is related to the change of temperature difference between day and night. The greater the change of temperature difference between day and night, the greater the loss of "small breathing"; on the contrary, the smaller the change of temperature difference between day and night, the smaller the loss. 2. It is related to the sunshine time of the oil storage tank. The longer the sunshine, the more the "small breathing" loss; otherwise, the less the loss.

Inspection of Welded Storage Tanks Surfaces Exposed during FabricationThe edges of API standard 650 welded steel storage tanks plates, openings and fittings exposed during fabrication shall be inspected carefully to make sure that any defects have been uncovered, as well as to determine that the work has been performed properly.Minor defects found may be repaired only after the inspector approves the method and extent of repairs. Materials that have more than minor defects that cannot be satisfactorily repaired shall be rejected.Spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination shall be not less than 6 in. extending along the weld. Spot radiography shall comply with the standards given in 7.15.1.3. Where spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination is applied at joint intersections, the surface shall be prepared and examined for a distance of 3 in. on each side of the intersection, making the minimum length of examination 6 in. on the horizontal weld and 3 in. on the vertical weld.
