API Std 650 uplifting tanks minimum roof live load

API 650 petroleum storage tank pipeline stress and product pressure, tank pressure, uniform or non-uniform temperature difference between the tank wall and the tank bottom, which cause the radial displacement and longitudinal rotation of the API Std 650 uplifting tanks tank wall at the opening to affect the oil tank wall The impact is obvious. Therefore, the design must ensure that the load applied by the external pipeline on the opening of the tank wall is within the safety limit. If the stress of the API Std 650 uplifting tanks connecting piping is not handled properly, the wall of the API 650 petroleum storage tank may deform or even rupture, causing a major accident.

API Std 650 uplifting tanks construction must adhere to the design drawings, acceptance specifications and construction plans. If the design needs to be modified during API Std 650 uplifting tanks construction, it must be approved by the original design unit or Party A’s representative and relevant personnel of the supervision unit, and written visa procedures must be completed in advance. The equipment and main materials used in the oil tank construction project must have certificates of conformity and quality assurance.

Aftershock Level Earthquake (ALE)
This design case shall be applicable only when regulations or project documents specifically require the tank system to be designed or evaluated for aftershocks.
If the outer tank is not designed as a secondary containment (i.e. it serves as vapor barrier and pressure boundary only and is not constructed of API 620 material suitable for the inner tank API Std 650 uplifting tanks), then no design or evaluation for ALE is required by these provisions for the inner or outer tank.
