API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks stiffeners

For open top and fixed roof API 650 tanks, the net working capacity is the liquid volume contained between the minimum operating level (top of API 650 tanks API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks outlet connection) and the maximum operating level [limited to the bottom of overflow connection, 75 mm below foam chamber connection, or 150 mm below rim, whichever is greater.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks. The common API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

Inspection of low-pressure storage tank Butt-weldsComplete penetration and complete fusion is required (to the degree mandated by the acceptance criteria for examination method utilized) for welds joining tank wall plates to API Std 650 duplex stainless steel tanks tank wall plates. Examination for quality of welds shall be made using either the radiographic method specified in API 620 standard 7.15.1 and applied in 7.17, or alternatively, by agreement between the Purchaser and the Manufacturer, using the ultrasonic method specified in 7.15.3.1. In addition to the radiographic or ultrasonic examination, these welds shall also be visually examined as specified in 7.15.5. Furthermore, the Purchaser’s inspector may visually inspect all butt-welds for cracks, arc strikes, excessive undercuts, surface porosity, incomplete fusion, and other defects.
