API standard 650 uplifting tanks manual welding

Oil tank is often used to store crude oil, diesel oil, gasoline and other oil. The main structure of API standard 650 uplifting tanks is composed of tank top, tank wall, tank bottom and accessories. The API standard 650 uplifting tanks should be inspected after the completion of construction, and the detection methods of different structure positions are different. Tank wall inspection: for the newly built oil tank, water filling test shall be conducted to check whether the tank wall is tight, and the appearance inspection shall be conducted for the tank wall plate and weld. Tank wall thickness detection: the oil tank wall thickness is mainly detected by ultrasonic wave, with high efficiency.

Production Weld Tests
Production weld test plates shall be welded for API standard 650 uplifting tanks primary-component butt-welded shell plates when welding procedure qualifications are required to be impact tested per Q.6.2 and Q.6.3. The number of production weld tests shall be based on the requirements of Q.6.6.3 and Q.6.6.4. The locations impact tested (i.e., HAZ and/or weld deposits) shall likewise be the same as required for weld procedure qualifications per Q.6.2 and Q.6.3. Weld testing shall be in accordance with Q.6.6.5. Test plates shall be made from plates produced only from the heats that are used to produce the shell plates for the large welded steel tank.

The inner layer of API 650 tank is the same as that of single layer tank. It is made of high-quality steel plate in strict accordance with the standard of "steel welded atmospheric pressure vessel". The thickness of API standard 650 uplifting tanks steel plate reaches the standard and the service life is longer.
