The longer the service life of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks, the lower the reliability and the prone to failure. Doing a good job in the maintenance of the metal oil tank can ensure the normal use of the oil tank, reduce the wear of the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks body and accessories, and extend the service life of the oil tank. The maintenance of metal oil tanks is mainly to do a good job in the anti-corrosion of the oil tank, the cleaning of the deposits in the API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks and the overhaul of its accessories. Regularly inspect and maintain the accessories of the oil tank: valves, oil measuring holes, breathing valves, flame arresters, ladders, foam fire extinguishing generators, etc., and make records. If any damage is found, repair them in time.

Standard Hydrostatic and Pneumatic TestsAfter erection is completed and stress relieving, radiographic examinations, or other similar operations, as may be required, are performed, each tank shall satisfactorily pass a series of hydrostatic and pneumatic tests as prescribed in 7.18.2 through 7.18.6. Whenever a solution film is specified in this section to be applied to welding, linseed oil or another equivalent material for disclosing air leakage may be substituted. In freezing weather, linseed oil or a similarly suitable material shall be used.The attachment welding around all openings and their reinforcements in the walls of the API 620 tank shall be examined by the magnetic-particle method both inside and outside the tank API 650 aboveground steel oil storage tanks. When the underside of a tank bottom rests directly on the tank grade (and is not accessible after erection), such examination of welding on the underside of the bottom and subsequent air testing may be omitted.
