API standard 650 horizontal tank designed and constructed for elevated temperature service

The API 650 is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, for the API standard 650 horizontal tank storage of typical products such as crude oil, petrol, chemicals and water. We have extensive experience when it comes to API 650 tanks, varying from tanks built in the factory up to +/- 500m3, to tanks built on-location up to +/-15,000 m3.

When the API standard 650 horizontal tank is welded, the weldment should be fixed rigidly. After welding, when the weldment is cooled to normal temperature, the rigid fixation can be removed, which can effectively prevent angular deformation and wave deformation. Although some measures have been taken, the welding deformation of API standard 650 horizontal tank is still unavoidable, so it is necessary to take corrective measures to compensate the deformation. Mechanical correction is to make the parts easy to deform in the welding process by mechanical or other rigid materials to produce simple deformation, so as to restore the state before welding.

Allowable Design Stresses
The maximum allowable design stresses for the API standard 650 horizontal tank materials outlined in Q.2.1 shall be in accordance with Table Q-3.The values for the allowable design tensile stress given in Table Q-3 for materials other than bolting steel are the lesser of (a) 331/3% of the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength for the material or (b) 662/3% of the specified minimum yield strength, but they are 75% of the specified minimum yield strength for the stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Allowable test stresses are based on the limitation of API 620 oil tank storage standard Q.8.1.3.
