How to limit the release of liquid contents from API standard 650 special tank

storage tanks API standard 650 special tank built to these standards are spread across U.S. refineries, terminals, pipelines, and production facilities. The API 650 petroleum storage tank detailed standard specifies the design, processing, welding, inspection and installation procedures of the storage tank.

The specifications used in the design of large oil tanks, API standard 650 special tank 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 standard 650 special tank with the same volume are sometimes quite different according to different specifications.

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.
