Fabrication requirements for API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks

Selection of nominal diameter D of API 650 storage tank. In the design calculation of API 650 storage tank, the bottom plate thickness is the net plate thickness, that is, the actual thickness minus the corrosion allowance. In the design and calculation of API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks wall thickness in hydrostatic test, the thickness of bottom plate is the total thickness of steel plate.

The cleanliness of the API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks has a great influence on the safety of the tank and the quality of the oil stored. Keeping the API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks clean can slow down the corrosion of the tank wall and reduce the pollution to the oil. If the inside of the API standard 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks is not cleaned all the year round, a lot of rust and metal impurities will be produced in the tank. These impurities will cause the oil to slowly oxidize and deteriorate. The impurities mixed into the oil will also block the filter and oil circuit, causing oil supply failure.

The density of the liquid API 620 large welded, low pressure storage tanks stored shall be its maximum density within the range of design temperatures, but no less than 36 lbf/ft3. The maximum allowable tensile stress shall be taken from Table 5-1 or Table Q-3. For the maximum allowable stresses for design loading combined with wind or earthquake loads, see API Standard 620 5.5.6 for carbon steel and Q.3.3.5 for stainless steel and aluminum.
