API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks inspecting requirements

The API standard 650 aluminum 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.The liquid level of API 650 oil storage tank is covered by floating roof. The storage liquid of API 650 oil storage API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks tank is isolated from the air, reducing air pollution, fire and explosion hazards, and easy to ensure the quality of liquid storage. It is especially suitable for the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks storage of high-grade gasoline, jet fuel and toxic and easily polluted liquid chemicals.Square hollow section S355J2H to Turkey. In January of 2015, our customer from Turkey chose us as their supplier of seamless RHS EN10219 S355J2H with a trail order of 120 tons. They required DNV test for the MTC and each tube. DNV inspector tested all the tubes and MTC. When our customer received the reports, they gave us a second order of 852.5 tons. Since then we maintain a long time cooperation relationship.Deformation of the welding seam of the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks is a common quality problem during the actual use of the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks, which easily causes the tank body to leak and affects the safety of the oil storage tank. The welding seam deformation of the API standard 650 aluminum storage tanks is mainly caused by the lack of reserved welding seam gap and irregular operation. The oil storage tank has not reserved the corresponding weld gap, resulting in deeper root removal during the front welding activity. The heat output of the weld will increase under the influence of a long time, and the deformation of the weld will gradually become serious.The after-sales service personnel understand the user's ideas and needs in detail, and stand on the other side's position and interests. Actively communicate with users and help them solve practical problems. This not only solves the service problem, but also improves the customer's trust in the company.
