Bottom leakage of API Std 650 larger diameter tanks

The API Std 650 larger diameter tanks 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 standard 650 is typically used for carbon, stainless steel and aluminium API Std 650 larger diameter tanks tanks located in terminals, refineries, pipelines and other process facilities. Both have different pressure and temperature parameters as well. Your choice of model will depend on you and/or your client s particular needs.We cooperated with the Peruvian government for many years. And supply them large diameter steel pipes and pipe fittings to support their Hydropower Station Projects. We do 100% UT, RT, Hydraulic test and so on tests for the API Std 650 larger diameter tanks steel pipes. And do PT, MT and so on tests for the pipe fittings. We published "Welding Procedure Qualification report" after production. And our mill will keep the test record in the documentary department for 5 years. If meet any problems in following application, we can check the test record easily and assist to solve problems at the first time.The bottom plate of the vertical API Std 650 larger diameter tanks directly contacts with the foundation soil, which is suitable for the flexible foundation, and its settlement characteristics are quite different from that of the rigid foundation. For the settlement calculation of the foundation of a vertical API Std 650 larger diameter tanks, the one-way compression layered sum method can be used. The calculation method is to divide the foundation soil into several layers of compression within the calculation depth of the foundation settlement, and then find the sum. The calculation method of the compression amount of each layer is the same as the calculation method of the compression amount under the condition of no lateral deformation.When providing technical services on site, the after-sales personnel shall strictly abide by the safety rules and regulations of the construction site, consciously take safety protection measures (such as wearing safety helmet when entering the construction site), accept the supervision and management of the site; without permission on the construction site, they shall not dismantle, smear or damage any goods; the commissioning of contract goods shall be carried out under the supervision of the site supervisor If necessary, it shall be approved by the site supervisor or the person in charge of the project department.
