API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks rod, bar, and structural shapes

Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.

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 carbon 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.

API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks Drain hole: The drain hole is generally installed at the bottom of the oil tank, used to remove sludge when cleaning the oil tank, and usually used to drain the sewage in the tank. API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks Safety valve: The role of the safety valve is to play a safety role when the breathing valve fails during the operation of the oil tank. Its working pressure is slightly higher than the pressure of the breathing valve, which can prevent the tank from being damaged due to the high positive or negative pressure in the tank. The safety valve is usually installed in the middle of the API Std 650 carbon steel storage tanks top.
