Simplified design requirements for API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks

This standard only applies to API 650 storage tanks API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks with uniform bottom support and non-refrigerated service storage tanks with a maximum design temperature of not more than 93 degrees Celsius (200 degrees Fahrenheit).

The factors affecting the "small breathing" loss of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks are: 1. It is related to the change of temperature difference between day and night. The greater the change of temperature difference between day and night, the greater the loss of "small breathing"; on the contrary, the smaller the change of temperature difference between day and night, the smaller the loss. 2. It is related to the sunshine time of the oil storage tank. The longer the sunshine, the more the "small breathing" loss; otherwise, the less the loss.

Impact Requirements for Controlled-rolled or Thermo-mechanical Control Process (TMCP) Plates: Subject to the approval of the Purchaser, controlled-rolled or TMCP plates (material produced by a mechanical- thermal rolling process designed to enhance the notch toughness) may be used where normalized plates are required. API 620 welded storage tanks each used plate, as rolled, shall be Charpy V-notch tested to the requirements of R.2.1.2.
