Inspection requirements for API Std 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API Std 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API Std 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.

There is no dome roof in the top of the vertical external floating roof oil storage tank, only the disc floating roof which can float up and down. The wall plates are connected by butt welding, and the construction is usually carried out by the forward installation method, and the storage capacity is usually more than 10000 cubic meters. Vertical internal floating roof API Std 650 self anchored flatbottom tanks has both dome roof and internal floating roof. The internal floating roof floats on the liquid surface inside the dome roof oil tank and can float up and down. The storage capacity is usually between 1000 and 10000 cubic meters.
