API Std 650 SUG III tanks normative references

The main advantages of the external floating roof API Std 650 SUG III tanks are large storage capacity, suitable for storing more than 10000 cubic meters of crude oil. Compared with the internal floating roof API Std 650 SUG III tanks, the production of external floating roof API Std 650 SUG III tanks is simple and the steel consumption is less. However, the central drainage system of external floating roof API Std 650 SUG III tanks should be installed on the outer floating roof to ensure that the accumulated water can be discharged smoothly in rainy and snowy days, and avoid sinking accident.

Thickness as it Affects Preheat and Post-heat Requirements
Plate with thicknesses below 1/2 in. is reasonably notch tough. In most steels, when the API Std 650 SUG III tanks used plate thickness exceeds 3/4 in. – 1 in., notch toughness, particularly as welded, decreases sharply. The decrease in notch toughness can be minimized by the conventional post-heat treatment and, in many steels, by preheat treatment. The benefits of preheat treatment in steels 3/4 in. – 1 in. thick have been demonstrated; similar benefits could be expected in thicker steels, but sufficient experimental data are currently lacking.

For open top and fixed roof API 650 tanks, the net working capacity is the liquid volume contained between the minimum operating level (top of API 650 tanks API Std 650 SUG III tanks outlet connection) and the maximum operating level [limited to the bottom of overflow connection, 75 mm below foam chamber connection, or 150 mm below rim, whichever is greater.
