API 650 storage tanks freeboard

The construction period comparison of mechanical cleaning and manual cleaning for vertical storage tank, API 650 storage tanks. The API 650 storage tanks mechanical cleaning period is short, and the construction period is not affected by the size of the storage tank and the amount of sludge in the tank, and the cleaning equipment operates 24 hours a day. The manual cleaning of the API 650 storage tanks has a long construction period, which is easily affected by the external environment, and the number of workers is limited by the size of the storage tank and the amount of sludge.

The API 650 storage 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.

This standard applies only to API 650 tank API 650 storage tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to API 650 tank in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200 °F) or less.
