The foundations for API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks

API 650 is the standard for welded tanks for oil storage. It specifies the design, manufacturing, welding, inspection and installation requirements of oil tanks. API 650 API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks is widely used in storage tanks with internal pressure less than or equal to 2.5 PSI, used to store products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals, and produced water. BBN has extensive experience in API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks API 650 tanks with diameters between 8'-300', suitable for refineries, terminals, pipeline facilities and other customers.

Ultrasonic Examination of Butt-welds in Plates
Butt-welds in all tank wall courses subjected to a maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, greater than 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of the API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks plate material shall be completely examined.
Butt-welds in API 620 oil tank wall courses subjected to maximum actual operating membrane tensile stress, perpendicular to the welded joint, less than or equal to 0.1 times the specified minimum tensile strength of plate material shall be spot examined in accordance with Figure Q-2.

How to effectively increase the service life of API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks oil tanks? It is necessary to check and inspect the oil tank regularly in the process of use, and do a good job in the maintenance and cleaning of the oil tank. The oil tank should be inspected every 6 years. With the increase of service life, the inspection interval should be shortened. Daily maintenance and cleaning of the API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks can prolong the service life of the oil tank. The maintenance of the API Std 650 vertical welded storage tanks mainly includes the anti-corrosion inspection of the oil tank, the maintenance of the accessories, and the cleaning of the sediment in the tank.
