I am having some problems with the interpretation of the API code about welding procedures. I am involve in a project manufacturing an API tank, we are having problems in some section were we have overlapping welding. In the same spot I got union of metal plates and the internal structure. Now I do not know how to attack this problem. I was thinking to perform non- destructive test, to make sure there is a well-welded union.
Have anyone have any suggestions that can lead me to the solution of this problem?

First you must determine the Specification the tank is to be built to. (API 620, API 650, API 12, etc.) Then you should procure a "Standards" or "Specification" booklet for it. This will give you all the info. necessary to design your Joints & their weldments.

The API Standards can be bought thru most Engineering Publications Stores.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Yes
I am sorry, I think I did not specify, I am building an API 650 tank. I do not know how this kind of problems (overlaping welding is treated by the API 650. I am not an expert interpretating the code, so I was looking for someone with experience using the API 650 code to guide me in finding the solution.

If you can build a tank, you can interpretate the API 650 standards manuel. The weld design section has many drawings, the related information is simple to understand & read, you should not have any problems with this IF YOU WILL GET A COPY OF THE API 650 STANDARD. Try it, you'll like it.
