Design requirements for API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks

Corrosion allowance, if specified, shall be added to calculated API 650 tanks shell and self-supporting roof thicknesses; to minimum nominal thicknesses of bottom and supported API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks roof plates; to nozzles and manholes; and to all exposed surfaces of internal structural members and non-removable internals.

Before welding the API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks, the professional skills of the welding personnel shall be fully assessed to ensure that the operators meet the corresponding welding qualifications. According to the technical standards, scientific and feasible process requirements are actually formulated. In the process of welding the edge plate of API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks, electric welding is required on one side of the edge plate, so that the edge plate has a free shrinkage effect and greatly reduces the residual stress of the welding seam.

Inspection of Butt-welds in Piping
Butt-welds in piping and in API Std 650 anchored liquid-storage tanks pipe fittings within the limitations of 1.3.2 (including the annular space of double- wall tanks) shall be inspected in conformance with API 620 oil tank standard Q.7.7.2 through Q.7.7.6. Longitudinal welded joints in piping that contains liquid shall be completely radiographed except for manufactured pipe welded without filler metal, 12 in. or less in diameter, which is tested hydrostatically or by eddy current to ASTM requirements.
