API Std 650 welded storage tanks lap joint

We can process the steel materials according to your drawing. Or if you can not make drawing, please send us API Std 650 welded storage tanks specific data and requirements, our technical department can make design and drawing for you, and then confirm with your technician or engineer. If all is OK, our processing center will process the steel materials according to the drawing. So no matter what size and shapes you need, we can meet demands at the most time.

The most popular standards for API Std 650 welded storage tanks are API Std 650, JIS B8501, BS2654, GB50341, etc. The formulas used in each standard are derived from the hoop stress calculation formula of membrane theory. Combined with the stress characteristics of API Std 650 welded storage tanks, plus the allowable stress, weld coefficient and additional wall thickness, the wall thickness calculation formula is complete. The allowable stress and weld coefficient are determined according to the material performance characteristics and construction technology level of each country. According to different API Std 650 welded storage tanks standards, the calculation results of tank wall thickness are sometimes quite different.

Impact Tests for High Alloys
Impact tests are not required for oil steel storage material nickel alloy welds made with electrodes/filler metals covered by AWS Specification A5.11 or AWS Specification A5.14, provided the nominal nickel content is 50% or greater, and the weld is deposited by the shielded metal-arc welding (SMAW), gas metal-arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten-arc welding (GTAW), or plasma-arc welding (PAW) processes. When A5.11/A5.14 specifies the nickel content as a “remainder,” the nickel content shall be determined by summing the maximum specified values of the other elements (use the average specified value for elements with specified ranges) and subtracting from 100%.
