API 650 liquid-storage tanks anchorage forces

API 650 stipulates that an open tank should be provided with a wind-resistant ring to ensure that the API 650 liquid-storage tanks tank body maintains its roundness when subjected to wind. There are no hard and fast rules for vault API 650 storage tanks. It can be determined by comparing the equivalent wall height with the maximum height of the unreinforced tank wall.

Oil tank accessories are an important component of metal oil tanks. Common accessories of API 650 liquid-storage tanks include manholes, light holes, oil measuring holes, breathing valves, safety valves, and fire extinguishers. The functions of these accessories are different. Some are to ensure the storage quality of various oil products, some are to ensure the normal operation of oil products receiving and dispatching, and some are to ensure the safety management of API 650 liquid-storage tanks, etc.

The increased uplift described in API Standard 620 tank Appendix Q is intended to apply to the size of the ringwall and foundation but not the anchorage. For tanks with an internal design pressure of 1 lbf/in.2 gauge and over, the uplift, if any, shall be calculated under the combined conditions of 1.25 times the internal design condition plus the design wind load on the API 650 liquid-storage tanks shell and roof.
