API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks shell manholes

The safety inspection of atmospheric storage tank, API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks is divided into external inspection, internal and external inspection and comprehensive inspection. External inspection shall be conducted at least once a year, internal and external inspection shall be conducted at least once every three years, and comprehensive inspection shall be conducted at least once every six years. The safety inspection of large atmospheric storage tanks, API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks requires special attention: the parts where the liquid level often fluctuates, the parts that are susceptible to corrosion, and the parts that are deformed and worn during use should be checked.

A cylindrical nozzle with a 12-in. inside diameter is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 60 ft in diameter so that its axis lies in a horizontal plane and forms an angle of 55° with a perpendicular to the sidewall at the point of intersection, as shown in Figure F-7. The thickness of the API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks sidewall plate, tw, in this area is 5/8 in., and no corrosion allowance is required. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the center of the opening is 26.1 lbf/in.2 gauge.

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.
