    5-2 API STANDARD 650

    5.1.3.6.2 For Groups IV, IVA, V, or VI shell-to-bottom welds for all welding processes, all welds shall be made using a mini-
    mum of two passes.
    5.1.3.7 All attachments to the exterior of the tank shall be completely seal welded. Intermittent welding is not permitted. The
    only exception to this requirement are wind girders as permitted in 5.1.5.8.
    5.1.3.8 Except as permitted in 5.1.5.5 and 5.1.5.6, permanent weld joint backing strips are permitted only with the approval of
    the Purchaser.
    5.1.4 Welding Symbols
    Welding symbols used on drawings shall be the symbols of the American Welding Society.
    5.1.5 Typical Joints
    5.1.5.1 General
    a. Typical tank joints are shown in Figures 5-1, 5-2, 5-3A, 5-3B, and 5-3C.
    b. The top surfaces of bottom welds (butt-welded annular plates, butt-welded sketch plates, or Figure 5-3B joints) shall be ground
    flush where they will contact the bottoms of the shell, insert plates, or reinforcing plates.
    5.1.5.2 Vertical Shell Joints
    a. Vertical shell joints shall be butt joints with complete penetration and complete fusion attained by double welding or other
    means that will obtain the same quality of deposited weld metal on the inside and outside weld surfaces to meet the requirements
    of 7.2.1 and 7.2.3. The suitability of the plate preparation and welding procedure shall be determined in accordance with 9.2.
    b. Vertical joints in adjacent shell courses shall not be aligned, but shall be offset from each other a minimum distance of 5t,
    where t is the plate thickness of the thicker course at the point of offset.
