API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks testing requirements

With the continuous development of large-scale oil storage tanks, the foundation of API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks has also continued to grow. Among them, API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks vertical oil tanks are storage tanks commonly used to store crude oil, diesel, gasoline and other oil materials. This type of storage tank is set up as a cylindrical shape. The bottom of the tank is a circular flat bottom plate, and the load surface of the oil tank is basically horizontal, which can generally be regarded as a uniform load, and has greater flexibility.

Any joints between the adjacent sections of API 620 oil storage tank stiffening rings, as shown in Figure Q-1, shall be made so that the required moment of inertia of the combined ring-shell section is provided. Weld joints between adjacent sections shall be made with full-thickness and full-penetration butt-welds. Stiffening-ring butt-welds may employ metal backing strips. Backing strips and the associated welding shall be made in a manner that provides a smooth contour in the rat hole and all other weld joint ends. All weld passes shall be started at the rat hole and other weld joint ends and shall be completed by moving away from these ends. Passes shall be overlapped away from edges to provide a smooth continuous weld.

The standard API 650 covers the design and calculation of different parts of the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks fuel tank. This specification is based on the knowledge and experience of buyers, manufacturers and users of API 650 welded storage tanks of different sizes and capacities. It is worth noting that the code requirements are minimal; stricter standards can be adopted for specific applications.
