API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks welding procedure and welder qualifications

To scientifically evaluate the remaining service life of the API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks, it is necessary to know the thickness change and development trend of the storage tank sheet after long-term use, combined with the metal characteristics of the storage tank, the influence of various external conditions and the continuous change of the oil pressure in the API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks, etc. factors to judge. Because the metal characteristics, corrosion defects, load and other numerical parameters of the API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks are randomly changed, the value of the remaining service life of the storage tank will also be dynamic.Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.The calculated thickness of the above-mentioned wall panels required by the hydrostatic pressure is also It API Std 650 open top welded storage tanks should be increased by the same ratio, unless special analysis is performed to determine the seismic overturning moment and the corresponding stress at the bottom of the wall of each layer of API 650 tank.In 2019, through the concerted cooperation of the enterprise team, the sales volume has grown steadily, and the annual sales volume has exceeded 300 million yuan.
