    STORAGE TANKS

    ( API 650 / 620 )

    Presented by : Manoranjan Nayak


    Static Mech.Inspector
    CP1,CP2 & UO1

    Storage tanks can be divided into two basic types:


    API 650 Tanks
    Covers minimum requirements for material, design,
    fabrication, erection, and testing for vertical,
    cylindrical, aboveground, closed and open-top,
    welded carbon or stainless steel storage tanks in
    various sizes and capacities for internal pressures
    approximating
    atmospheric
    pressure
    (internal
    pressures not exceeding the weight of the roof plates)
    API 620 Tanks
    Covers the design and construction of large, welded,
    low-pressure carbon steel above ground storage
    tanks with pressures in their gas or vapor spaces not
    more than 15 psi.

    TYPE OF ROOFS

    Cone Roof
    Dome Roof
    Aluminum Dome roof
    External Floating roof
    Dome roof +Internal Floater

    Cone Roof

    Dome Roof

    Aluminum Dome Roof

    External Floating roof

    EXTERNAL FLOATING ROOF TANK

    The main principle of Floating roof is to eliminates

    breathing losses and greatly reduces the evaporative


    losses of the stored liquid.

    The roof rises a falls with the liquid level in the tank. The

    roof has support legs handing down into the liquid. At low
    liquid levels the roof eventually lands and a vapor space
    forms between the liquid surface and the roof, similar to a
    fixed roof tank.

    IMPORTANT PARAMETERS TO BE CHECKED DURING


    CONSTRUCTION :

    Roundness ( API 650 Para 7.5.3/API 620 Para 6.5.3)


    Tank diameter in meter

    Radius tolerance in mm

    <12

    13

    From 12 to < 45

    19

    From 45 to < 75

    25

    75

    32

    IMPORTANT PARAMETERS TO BE CHECKED DURING


    CONSTRUCTION :

    Plumbness ( API 650 Para 7.5.2/API 620 Para

    6.5.2)
    The maximum out-of-Plumbness of the top of the
    shell relative to the bottom of the shell shall not
    exceed 1/200 of the total tank height.

    IMPORTANT PARAMETERS TO BE CHECKED DURING


    CONSTRUCTION :

    Peaking

    (API 650 Para 7.5.4 /API 620 Para 6.5.4)


    Local deviations at vertical weld joints shall not exceed 13 mm.

    Banding

    (API 650 Para 7.5.4 /API 620 Para 6.5.4)


    Local deviations at horizontal weld joint shall not exceed 13 mm.

    IMPORTANT PARAMETERS TO BE CHECKED DURING


    CONSTRUCTION :
    Nozzles & Manhole ( API 650 Para 7.5.6 & 7.5.7)
    a. Projection
    b. Orientation
    c. Elevation
    d. Flange tilt
    e. Flange bolt hole orientation

    RADIOGRAPHIC REQUIRMENTS ( API 650 Sec 8)

    RT is required for All shell butt-welds and annular plate


    butt-welds

    Number and location of radiograph is depends on the plate


    thickness.

    Radiographic inspection is not required for roof-plate

    welds, bottom-plate welds, welds joining the top angle to


    either the roof or shell, welds joining the shell plate to the
    bottom plate, welds in nozzle and man way necks made
    from plate and other external attachments.

    OTHER INSPECTION ACTIVITIES :

    Weld visual for all welds


    Vacuum box test for bottom plate weld
    joints
    Oil penetrant test for shell to annular
    plate joints.
    Pneumatic test for all R/F pad
    Tank Hydro test ( API 650 Para 7.3.6)
    Testing of the Roof

    Tank Hydro test :


    1. Preparing the tank for testing
    2. Filling the water
    3. Taking settlement measurements

    Before start of hydrostatic test


    With tank filled to test height
    With tank filled to test height
    With tank filled to test height
    At least 24 hours after the tank has been filled to test height.
    After tank has been emptied of test water.

    Test Water Quality:


    Potable water is preferred for hydro testing
    Purchaser shall consider the issues acidity, general corrosion,

    pitting, low temperature brittle fracture, disposal and the


    residual left in the tank after emptying.
    If the purchaser supplied test water causes corrosion, the
    purchaser is responsible for the required repairs.
    For carbon steel tank where water contact exceeds 14 days
    consider adding an oxygen scavenger and a biocide and raise the
    pH by the addition of caustic.
    For stainless steel tanks the chlorine content of the water shall
    be below 50 ppm.

    Testing of the Roof:


    Upon completion the roof of a tank shall be tested by one
    of the following method.

    Pneumatic test by applying internal air pressure


    not exceeding the weight of the roof plates.
    Vacuum testing the weld joints to detect any
    leaks.
