API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks thickness of shell plates

The internal floating plate of internal floating roof tank of API 650 tank is different from that of open floating plate of API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks External floating roof tank of API 650 tank, so it is impossible to have rain and snow load.

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 Std 650 ground-supported liquid 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.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks mainly include American Petroleum Institute Standard API 650, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS B8501, British Industrial Standard BS2654 and Chinese National Standard GB50341 from a global perspective. The formulas used in each specification are based on the hoop stress in the membrane theory. Each specification is based on the performance characteristics of materials and the construction technology level of their respective countries to determine the allowable stresses and weld coefficients. Therefore, the calculation results of tank wall thickness of API Std 650 ground-supported liquid storage tanks with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.
