API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks larger than 50 ft in diameter

The {keyword shell that contains the liquid shall have butt-welded annular bottom plates with a radial width that provides at least 24 in. between the inside of the shell and any lap-welded joint in the remainder of the bottom and at least a 2-in. projection outside the shell. The stated values apply to full-sized specimens. For sub-size specimen acceptance criteria, see ASTM A20. An impact test temperature lower than the design metal temperature may be used by the API 620 large welded, low pressure storage tanks Manufacturer.

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3.

The API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks must go through strict inspection before putting into use. Inspection of plate groove of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored tanks, vertical oil tank: After finishing the groove processing of oil tank plate, it is necessary to conduct dye penetrant inspection on the groove. This process is mainly aimed at the hard damage of groove in the machining process and the defects of the plate itself. If any defect is found, it shall be processed again until the defect disappears.
