API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks test procedure
The inner tank shall be opened to the atmosphere, and a sufficient amount of water shall be added to the inner tank to balance the upward pressure against the inner tank bottom produced by the pneumatic test of the outer tank; as an alternative, the pressure between the inner and outer tanks can be equalized. API Standard 620 Air pressure shall be applied to the space enclosed by the outer tank equal to at least the design gas pressure but not exceeding a pressure that would overstress either the inner or outer tank.

Inspection of API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks bottom: magnetic flux leakage scanning technology is used to detect the corrosion condition of API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks bottom plate (such as corrosion depth and area, crack length, etc.). When there is a defect in the bottom plate of the API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks, the magnetic field distribution will change and the sensor can detect it. The bottom of the oil tank should be free of foreign matters and dry during testing. Weld inspection of API Std 650 closed top welded storage tanks bottom plate: when vacuum leak test method is used to detect the tightness of oil tank bottom plate, soap water shall be applied to the weld and vacuum box shall be covered for observation.
