Material requirements for API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks

The API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks most widely used and most commonly used standard for global storage tank construction and procurement is API 650. The Chinese translation name is "AP1650 Steel Welded Petroleum Storage Tank". API 650 storage tank is for commonly used oil, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage, etc.

Deformation of the welding seam of the API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks, which easily causes the tank body to leak and affects the safety of the oil storage tank. The welding seam deformation of the API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks is mainly caused by the lack of reserved welding seam gap and irregular operation. The oil storage tank has not reserved the corresponding weld gap, resulting in deeper root removal during the front welding activity. The heat output of the weld will increase under the influence of a long time, and the deformation of the weld will gradually become serious.

Hydrostatic Test
The API Std 650 self-anchored storage tanks product shall be vented to the atmosphere when it is filled with or emptied of water. During water filling, the elevations of at least four equidistant points at the bottom of the tank shell and on top of the ringwall or slab shall be checked. Differential settlement, or uniform settlement of substantial magnitude, requires an immediate stop to water filling. Any further filling with water will depend on an evaluation of the measured settlement.
