API 650
CHAPITRE 1-3

Q1. API 650 covers material, design, fabrication, erection, and testing
requirements for aboveground welded steel storage tanks. Internal
pressure
allowed for these tanks approximates atmospheric pressure. However,
the internal pressures must not:

a. be more than the specific gravity of the product in the tank.


b. exceeds the weight of the roof plates.
c. be more than ½ once per square inch
d. exceeds purchaser’s recommendation .

Q2. Tanks that have bottoms that are not uniformly supported are:

a. not covered by API 650


b. covered by appendix B of API 620.
c. covered by API 650.
d. not covered by Appendix B of API 653

Q3. Tanks covered by API 650 are restricted to a maximum operating


temperature of _______ degrees F, unless additional requirements of
Appendix M of API 650 are followed.

a. 500
b. 300
c. 200
d. 100

Q4. Who decides whether tanks constructed to API 650 will have SI
dimensions and comply with applicable SI unit standards or have US
Customary dimensions and comply with applicable US Customary unit
standards?

a. The jurisdiction.
b. the purchaser
c. the manufacturer
d. The Inspector .
Q 5. Appendix A provides alternative simplified design requirements for
tanks
where the stressed components, such as shell plates and reinforcing
plates,
are limited to a maximum nominal thickness of ½ inch, including
corrosion
allowance. What is ½ inch in SI units?
a. 10 m
b. 12.7 cm
c. 25.4 mm
d. 12.5 mm

d) is supported at the periphery

Q8. A double-welded butt joint is defined as:-

a) A joint between two members that intersect at an angle between 0 degrees (a butt
joint) and 90 degrees (a corner joint).
b) A joint between two abutting parts lying in approximately the same plane that is
welded from both sides.
c) A joint whose size is equal to the thickness of the thinner jointed member.
d) A joint between two overlapping members in which the overlapped edge is welded.
Q9. A full-fillet weld is a weld that :-

a) not less than 1/3 the thinner plate;


b) the legs equal the thickness of the thinner plate;
c) the largest isosceles triangle that can be inscribed within the cross section of the weld
d) is at least the thickness of the thicker plate
