API standard 650 fixed roof tanks corrosion allowances

Large net shell API 650 tanks or net shell of tank API standard 650 Fixed roof tanks is a tank top for the surface grid structure and the physical structure form of truss structures, thin shell structure is reasonable, mainly for the top using triangle net shell, socket type net shell or meridian reticulated shell technology for the design of API standard 650 fixed roof tanks large-scale tank top, its great spanning capacity and uniform stress, good rigidity, less material, convenient assembly, safe and reliable.

Oil tank is often used to store crude oil, diesel oil, gasoline and other oil. The main structure of API standard 650 fixed roof tanks is composed of tank top, tank wall, tank bottom and accessories. The API standard 650 fixed roof tanks should be inspected after the completion of construction, and the detection methods of different structure positions are different. Tank wall inspection: for the newly built oil tank, water filling test shall be conducted to check whether the tank wall is tight, and the appearance inspection shall be conducted for the tank wall plate and weld. Tank wall thickness detection: the oil tank wall thickness is mainly detected by ultrasonic wave, with high efficiency.

Test plates shall be welded using the same qualified welding procedure and electrodes that are required for the tank shell plate joints. The API 620 steel storage tank test plates need not be welded as an extension of the tank shell joint but shall be welded in the required qualifying positions. One test weld shall be made on a set of plates from each specification and grade of API standard 650 fixed roof tanks plate material, using a thickness that would qualify for all thicknesses in the shell. Each test welded of thickness t shall qualify for plate thicknesses from 2t down to t/2, but not less than 5/8 in. For plate thicknesses less than 5/8 in., a test weld shall be made for the thinnest shell plate to be welded; this test weld will qualify plate thicknesses from t up to 2t.
