API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks ultrasonic examination

This standard applies only to API 650 tank API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to API 650 tank in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200 °F) or less.

The API 620 large storage tank nozzle neck is fabricated by welding from 1/2-in. plate. The materials in the tank wall, the nozzle neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank wall are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The longitudinal joint in the nozzle neck is of the same type API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks but is not radiographed; however, the longitudinal joint and all other parts of the nozzle-and-wall-plate assembly have been shop stress relieved after fabrication, as required by 5.25. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-6 shall be determined.

Unqualified welding quality of API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks is prone to hidden dangers such as oil tank steel plate cracks and leakage. To avoid this situation as much as possible, it needs to be avoided when the oil storage tank is manufactured. Scientific and reasonable measures are adopted to control the welding quality when welding the API Std 650 aboveground welded storage tanks. How to reasonably control the welding process quality of oil storage tanks?
