ISO 630 plates API standard 650 insulated tanks

Materials for API standard 650 insulated tanks primary components shall comply with the requirements of Tables R-1 and R-2. All primary components shall be impact tested in accordance with R.2.1.2 through R.2.1.4. Impact testing of API 620 welded storage tanks plates, including structural members made of plate, shall comply with Table R-1. Impact test specimens shall be taken transverse to the direction of final plate rolling.

API 650 Tanks in which liquid fluids are stored and designed to withstand atmospheric pressure operation, less than 18 kPa, or internal pressures not exceeding the weight of the API standard 650 insulated tanks roof, with temperatures no higher than 93, 3 C are included in the scope of this design code.

The establishment of a correct method for evaluating the life of API standard 650 insulated tanks requires the preparation of criteria related to the strength and cracks of API standard 650 insulated tanks, mechanical damage mechanisms, corrosion mechanisms, and mathematical models of fatigue crack growth, etc., which are compiled into computer programs. In the process of programming the program, it is required to select the operating parameters, plates, reinforcement accessories, metal properties, corrosion levels, mechanical damage defects and other data of the oil storage tank under various conditions.
