API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks allowable stresses

Weld inspection of API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks, vertical oil tank wall plate: In the welding inspection process of oil tank wall plate, attention should be paid to the defects of thick wall plate, such as incomplete penetration, incomplete root fusion and cracks. If there is a root incomplete penetration defect, it is necessary to open the weld joint with carbon arc air gouging and grinding machine grinding, or even weld through, and then weld again after the defect is removed.

Proof Tests for Establishing Allowable Working PressuresBecause pressures in liquid storage tanks built according to these rules vary quite markedly from the tops to the bottoms of the tanks, proof testing of these tanks presents problems not usually encountered in the construction of unfired pressure vessels–especially where the API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks parts under investigation are located near the bottoms of the tanks. The principal difficulty is devising a test or series of tests that will reliably establish the working pressure that can be permitted on the part of the unproven design without, at the same time, imposing hazardous conditions on other parts located at higher levels in the tank.

Before the start of erection, inspect each API 650 tank foundation to ensure that it is level and acceptable to receive Work. Remove temporary erection attachments welded to the interior or exterior of the API 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks shell or to the bottom by arc gouging, and grind weld area smooth.
