The shell of API 650 anchored tanks

Proper use of API 650 anchored tanks and precautions:
1. The API 650 anchored tanks must be used within the safe height range;
2. Check before use to ensure that the safety valve and breathing valve are flexible and easy to use;
3. The explosion-proof and fire-proof safety measures for oil tanks are implemented effectively;
4. The oil level in the API 650 anchored tanks should be accurately measured when receiving and delivering oil, so as to prevent overflow or empty;
5. In the process of receiving and sending oil, the flow rate of oil should be controlled, and it should not be too fast to avoid electrostatic accidents.

The API 650 anchored tanks stiffener ring and backing strip (if used) are primary components, and they shall comply with the requirements of API 620 storage steel tank Q.2.1. The stiffener rings may be fabricated from plate using an intermittent weld on alternating sides between the web and the flange.
Except for aluminum or stainless steel tanks, all fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole (see Figure Q-1), and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to the detail that includes stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API 650 anchored tanks tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees F. It requires that you have a minimum material thickness of 3/16 inch.
