    The document outlines requirements for steel plates used in API 650 compliant storage tanks. It specifies that plates must be manufactured via open-hearth, electric furnace, or basic oxygen processes and heat treated through normalizing or uniform heating. Tensile tests are required on each plate after heat treatment. Carbon equivalent and impact test requirements must also be met depending on material thickness. Additional requirements limit carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus contents and specify minimum ultimate tensile, yield, and elongation strengths. Material certification per section 3.2 is also required.

    API 650 Requirements:

     All plates shall be manufactured by the open-hearth, electric-furnace, or basic oxygen


    process.

     Fully killed plates shall be heat treated to produce grain refinement by either normalizing
    or heating uniformly for hot forming.

     The tensile tests shall be performed on each plate as heat treated.

     Carbon equivalent shall be with in code acceptable limits.

     Must meet the impact test requirements of API 650 (if applicable for material thickness)
    QE SPECIFICATION ES.5.06.0006 REQUIREMENTS: FOR ANNULAR & SHALL PLATES OF
    TANKS WITH TOTAL VOLUME LESS THAN 15000 M3.

     The steel shall contain not more than 0.23% carbon, 0.05% sulphur and 0.05%
    phosphorus, as determined by ladle analysis.

     The steel shall have a guaranteed minimum ultimate tensile strength of at least 363 MPa
    and a maximum ultimate tensile strength of not more than 510 MPa.

     The steel shall have a guaranteed yield strength of at least 206 MPa.

     The steel shall have an elongation not less than 22%.

    General Requirements:
    Material certification shall be 3.2
