Requirements for prefabrication of the top of large vertical API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks: The prefabrication of the tank top shall be prefabricated in blocks according to the drawings. Pay attention to the spacing of the welds after installation when setting out the material. Reinforcing ribs should be formed and inspected with an arc-shaped template. When a single top plate needs to be spliced, butt joints should be used. The forming of a single top plate should be welded between the reinforcing ribs and the top plate on the mould. After forming, check with an arc-shaped sample plate, and the gap should not be greater than 10 mm.

Stamping of API 620 storage tank PlatesBefore plates required to be stamped by the steel mill are used, the inspector shall see that they bear the stamp. In laying out and cutting the API 650 flat-bottom steel tanks plates, at least one set of the original material identification markings should, if possible, be left where it will be plainly visible when the tank is completed. Should the identifying marks be obliterateSpot radiographic or ultrasonic examination shall be not less than 6 in. extending along the weld. Spot radiography shall comply with the standards given in 7.15.1.3. Where spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination is applied at joint intersections, the surface shall be prepared and examined for a distance of 3 in. on each side of the intersection, making the minimum length of examination 6 in. on the horizontal weld and 3 in. on the vertical weld.
