CODED DESIGN OF WELDED STEEL TANKS FOR BULK STORAGE

This five-day training session on Coded Design of Welded Steel Tanks for Bulk Storage by Xceed Academy will provide you with intense knowledge on API 650 welded steel tanks used for oil storage. The API 650 includes the above ground testing requirements, fabrication, erection, design, material, and cylindrical, vertical, open-and closed-tops. It also includes steel welded storage tanks in different sizes and proportions.

This Coded Design of Welded Steel Tanks for Bulk Storage course is developed to provide the participants with a thorough insight into the API 650 storage tank code. Several case studies within the course will help you understand the practical use of API 650 via numerous illustrations. It will also teach the participants about the different design options within the tank.

Upon completing this course successfully, the participants will be able to:

• Understand the several technical terms that are used in API 650
• Efficiently choose the accurate material and identify the required testing material
• Design roof openings, tank shell nozzles, tank sumps, clean-out openings, and tanks for wind loads
• Lead and execute the design of tank accessories, tank bottom, roof, and shell.
• Proficiently conduct vacuum box tests, hydro tank testing, and pneumatic tests.
• Effortlessly carry out dimensional inspections for the tolerances of fabrication.
• Efficiently conduct the correct usage of welding and fabrication, including the correct and wrong in-tank erection.
• Efficiently understand the right techniques of tank inspection and how to conduct the correct NDE inspection

END ASSESSMENT

During the course of the training, the participants will be assessed pre-course, during the training, and at the end of the training session via different methods that include:

• • • To determine the starting level of the participants and deliver the customized training course, a pre-assessment will be carried out
    • During the training, a number of assessments are conducted through session-based reflective quizzes, practical exercises, and evaluations
    • To ensure the retention and learning of the training, end-of-course assessment is carried out in a test or exam environment
