API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks dead load

These API 650 documents will define the bases of design, operation, inspection, tests, examinations, and maintenance of an API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks industrial facility. Bidders will study and analyze all this API 650 documentation, both during the preparation of the quotation and during the execution of each project activity.

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 standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks. Generally, the natural conditions that need to be considered before API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks design and construction are: regional temperature, wind load, snow load, ground endurance, external environment corrosion, etc.

Large Low-Pressure Tanks Corrosion Allowance
In cases in which the rate of corrosion is closely predictable, additional metal thickness over and above that required for the initial operating conditions shall be provided and shall be at least equal to the expected corrosion loss during the desired life of the tank.
When corrosion effects are indeterminate before the tank is designed (although they are known to be inherent to some degree in the service for which the tank is to be used), and when corrosion is incidental, localized, or variable in rate and extent, the best judgement of the API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks designer must be exercised in establishing reasonable maximum excess tank wall thicknesses. For all tanks that come under this classification, a minimum corrosion allowance of 1/16 in. shall be provided.
