API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks gauging device

API standard 650 is typically used for carbon, stainless steel and aluminium API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks tanks located in terminals, refineries, pipelines and other process facilities. Both have different pressure and temperature parameters as well. Your choice of model will depend on you and/or your client s particular needs.

Atmospheric API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks refer to storage tanks whose gas or vapor pressure is greater than -0.02MPa but less than 0.1MPa. Metal atmospheric storage tanks made of steel welded on the ground are often used to store petroleum, chemical and other similar liquids. Atmospheric API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks usually have a connecting pipe directly connected to the atmosphere, so that the operating pressure in the storage tank does not exceed the design pressure at all times.

Allowable Design Stresses
The maximum allowable design stresses for the API Std 650 flat-bottom oil storage tanks materials outlined in Q.2.1 shall be in accordance with Table Q-3.The values for the allowable design tensile stress given in Table Q-3 for materials other than bolting steel are the lesser of (a) 331/3% of the specified minimum ultimate tensile strength for the material or (b) 662/3% of the specified minimum yield strength, but they are 75% of the specified minimum yield strength for the stainless steel, nickel alloy, and aluminum materials. Allowable test stresses are based on the limitation of API 620 oil tank storage standard Q.8.1.3.
