API standard 650 floating-roof tanks documentation requirements
API standard 650 floating-roof tanks, Vertical oil storage tank is an important equipment for many enterprises to carry out production, which provides important support and help for the storage of many reagents. Vertical storage tank is generally used as atmospheric pressure vessel. Advantages: the filling rate of cylindrical structure is second to that of spherical tank, and the largest volume of the storage tank can be made into tens of thousands of cubic meters. The structure is simple and the construction requirements are relatively low.
API standard 650 floating-roof tanks Visual InspectionUpon completion of all the foregoing tests, the pressure in the tank shall be released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses, and their attachments to the walls of the tank. Anchors shall be checked for snug tightness and adjusted if required. Anchor threads shall be fouled by peening or tack welding to prevent loosening. In lieu of thread fouling, double nuts may be used.Rate of Water Filling and Water TemperatureThe rate at which water is introduced into a tank for a hydrostatic test shall not exceed 3 ft of depth per hour. The foundation, venting equipment, or other conditions may limit the water filling to a lower rate. Pressure shall not be applied above the surface of the water before the tank and its contents are at about the same temperature.
If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API standard 650 floating-roof 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.
