API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks flush-type shell connections

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 Std 650 aboveground oil 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.

When providing technical services on site, the after-sales personnel shall strictly abide by the safety rules and regulations of the construction site, consciously take safety protection measures (such as wearing safety helmet when entering the construction site), accept the supervision and management of the site; without permission on the construction site, they shall not dismantle, smear or damage any goods; the commissioning of contract goods shall be carried out under the supervision of the site supervisor If necessary, it shall be approved by the site supervisor or the person in charge of the project department.

Preheat Treatment
Many laboratory tests have shown preheat treatment of carbon steel to 300°F-400°F to be the equivalent of the post-heat treatment at no less than 1100°F insofar as the physical properties of the weldment are concerned.40,41 Some tests have indicated a slight advantage of the post-heat treatment. Most of the tests have been made on plates 3/4 in. - 1 in. thick; results must be viewed with caution if preheating is applied appreciably beyond this thickness range. However, for all practical purposes, improvement resulting from preheating is sufficiently well established so that preheat should be considered for field fabrication of API 620 crude oil tank plates over 3/4-in. thick whenever toughness of the tank API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks is highly desired and the thermal post-heat treatment is impractical.

Oil tank accessories are an important component of metal oil tanks. Common accessories of API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks include manholes, light holes, oil measuring holes, breathing valves, safety valves, and fire extinguishers. The functions of these accessories are different. Some are to ensure the storage quality of various oil products, some are to ensure the normal operation of oil products receiving and dispatching, and some are to ensure the safety management of API Std 650 aboveground oil storage tanks, etc.
