API 650 storage tank decks

The API 650 petroleum storage tank standard is one of the most widely used design specifications. It is the API 650 standard of the American Petroleum Institute. The main goal of the API 650 standard is to promote the purchase and construction of vertical, above-ground, and welded manufacturing API 650 storage tank tanks through the requirements contained in its parts to ensure that the required safety regulations are met.

Requirements for prefabrication of bottom plate of large vertical API 650 storage tank:
1. The diameter of tank bottom should be enlarged by 0.1% ~ 0.15% according to the design diameter.
2. The minimum dimension of edge plate along the radius direction of tank bottom shall not be less than 700mm.
3. The distance between any adjacent welds of the base plate shall not be less than 300 mm.

Insulation Load
For API 620 tanks designed and constructed with an outer tank containing loose fill insulation in the annular space between the tanks, the insulation weight shall be divided equally to the inner and outer tank wall for seismic lateral loads unless a more rigorous analysis is performed to determine the distribution. The insulation within the annular space shall not be used to calculate resistance to overturning. Insulation on the API 650 storage tank roof or suspended deck shall be applied to the tank supporting the load at the point or center of gravity of attachment and may be used to resist overturning.
