API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks seals

API 650 stipulates that an open tank should be provided with a wind-resistant ring to ensure that the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks tank body maintains its roundness when subjected to wind. There are no hard and fast rules for vault API 650 storage tanks. It can be determined by comparing the equivalent wall height with the maximum height of the unreinforced tank wall.

All welded seams in the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks bottom, and complete penetration and complete fusion sidewall-to-bottom welds, shall be inspected by means of a vacuum box test as described in Q.8.2.1. Sidewall-to-bottom welds not having complete penetration and complete fusion shall be inspected by means of either a vacuum box test of the inside weld as described in API 620 specification Q.8.2.1, or where approved by the Purchaser, a direct pressure solution film test as described in Q.8.2.2.

The main reason of "small breathing" loss of API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks is the change of atmospheric temperature. When the temperature rises with the increase of solar radiation from dawn, the temperature of oil in the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks also changes, resulting in the acceleration of evaporation speed and the increase of evaporation pressure. When the pressure exceeds the positive pressure rating of the breathing valve, the oil-gas mixture in the API Std 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks is discharged into the atmosphere through the breathing valve, which is the "exhalation" process of the oil tank.
