API Std 650 stainless and carbon steel tank mandatory

API Std 650 stainless and carbon steel tank construction must adhere to the design drawings, acceptance specifications and construction plans. If the design needs to be modified during API Std 650 stainless and carbon steel tank construction, it must be approved by the original design unit or Party A’s representative and relevant personnel of the supervision unit, and written visa procedures must be completed in advance. The equipment and main materials used in the oil tank construction project must have certificates of conformity and quality assurance.

The results of adopting two-level API Std 650 stainless and carbon steel tank service system and implementing standardized management are mainly reflected in the formation of vigorous work style such as quick response and quick action. Our company's customer service center stipulates that employees must be accurate and quick in technical support and API Std 650 stainless and carbon steel tank after-sales service. Through the formation of this fast, agile, vigorous style, to provide users with satisfactory service.

The API Std 650 stainless and carbon steel tank stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

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 stainless and carbon steel tank 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.
