ASTM A27 grade 415-205 floating roofs API 650 fixed roof tanks

Pressure Setting of Safety DevicesExcept as provided in API 620 tank 9.5 for certain liquid relief valves, the pressure setting of a pressure-relieving device shall in no case exceed the maximum pressure that can exist at the level where the device is located when the pressure at the top of the tank equals the nominal pressure rating for the tank (see API 620 tank 5.3.1) and the liquid contained in the tank API 650 Fixed roof tanks is at the maximum design level.Vacuum-relieving devices shall be set to open at such a pressure or partial vacuum that the partial vacuum in the tank cannot exceed that for which the tank is designed when the inflow of air (or other gas or vapor) through the device is at its maximum specified rate.

Test welds of each API 650 tank nozzle and manway reinforcing pad (or each section of multiple piece pad) using dry air and apply a soap solution test in the presence of Purchaser's Inspector before hydro testing the API 650 fixed roof tanks tank. Tap one inch NPT test hole in each pad or section.

In the actual welding of API 650 fixed roof tanks, operators will use more arc-shaped plates for tailor-welding to better adapt to the larger volume of oil storage tanks. In order to effectively control the deformation of the welding seam of the API 650 fixed roof tanks, a scientific and accurate prefabricated bottom plate is required. In the process of prefabricating the bottom plate of the oil storage tank, it is necessary to strictly follow the technical requirements for the construction of the oil storage tank. At the same time, it is also necessary to clarify the external dimensions according to its actual manufacturing standards so that it has sufficient shrinkage.
