API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks repairs to welds

API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks Liquid Relief ValvesA tank, which is likely to operate completely filled with liquid, shall be equipped with one or more liquid relief valves at the top of the roof, unless otherwise protected against overpressure. When such valves are, in effect, supplementary relief devices, they may be set at a pressure not greater than 1.25 times the design pressure. Because the relief valve at the pump, which provides the inflow of liquid to the tank, is set at a pressure greater than 1.25 times the design pressure of any tank that may be built under these rules, provision should be made for preventing overfilling of the tank by a self-closing float valve, by some practicable pilot-valve control, or by any other proven device.

The Standard has gained international recognition and is the standard of choice of most builders of large liquid above ground API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks storage tanks. One reason for this is that the API 650 Standard was created and is revised by API committees comprised of the world s best tank structural engineers who also rely on the experience of tank owners and tank construction companies.

When the API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks is welded, the weldment should be fixed rigidly. After welding, when the weldment is cooled to normal temperature, the rigid fixation can be removed, which can effectively prevent angular deformation and wave deformation. Although some measures have been taken, the welding deformation of API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks is still unavoidable, so it is necessary to take corrective measures to compensate the deformation. Mechanical correction is to make the parts easy to deform in the welding process by mechanical or other rigid materials to produce simple deformation, so as to restore the state before welding.
