API 650 liquid storage tanks shell reinforcing plate

No matter what type of storage tank needs to be built, the natural conditions of the geographical area where the tank is located should be fully considered in the design. Because natural conditions will affect the service life, storage safety and construction cost of storage tanks such as API 650 liquid storage tanks. Generally, the natural conditions that need to be considered before API 650 liquid storage tanks design and construction are: regional temperature, wind load, snow load, ground endurance, external environment corrosion, etc.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API 650 liquid storage tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

API 650 storage tank is used for commonly used oil, gasoline, diesel, chemical and production water storage. API 650 liquid storage tanks Storage tanks built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures for storage tanks.
