ASTM A350 forgings API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks

For floating roof API 650 tanks, the net working capacity is the liquid volume contained between the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks maximum operating level (300 mm below rim for metallic type seals and 600 mm below rim for fabric type seals) and the minimum operating level (API 650 tanks roof supports clearing the tank bottom by 25 mm while set at the operating position).

Inspection of low-pressure storage tank Butt-weldsComplete penetration and complete fusion is required (to the degree mandated by the acceptance criteria for examination method utilized) for welds joining tank wall plates to API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks tank wall plates. Examination for quality of welds shall be made using either the radiographic method specified in API 620 standard 7.15.1 and applied in 7.17, or alternatively, by agreement between the Purchaser and the Manufacturer, using the ultrasonic method specified in 7.15.3.1. In addition to the radiographic or ultrasonic examination, these welds shall also be visually examined as specified in 7.15.5. Furthermore, the Purchaser’s inspector may visually inspect all butt-welds for cracks, arc strikes, excessive undercuts, surface porosity, incomplete fusion, and other defects.

Corrosion of the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks body caused by external conditions such as high temperature, rain, humidity, or inadequate anti-corrosion measures of the oil storage tank itself, the water-bearing deposits in the oil storage tank caused corrosion and perforation of the inner surface of the oil storage tank bottom plate. Defects fatigue cracks caused by stress, with the accumulation of time, the compressive strength of the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks body decreases and corrosion cracks occur.
