API Std 650 liquid storage tanks hoop stresses

API 650 stipulates that an open tank should be provided with a wind-resistant ring to ensure that the API Std 650 liquid storage tanks tank body maintains its roundness when subjected to wind. There are no hard and fast rules for vault API 650 storage tanks. It can be determined by comparing the equivalent wall height with the maximum height of the unreinforced tank wall.

Corrosion of the API Std 650 liquid storage tanks body caused by external conditions such as high temperature, rain, humidity, or inadequate anti-corrosion measures of the oil storage tank itself, the water-bearing deposits in the oil storage tank caused corrosion and perforation of the inner surface of the oil storage tank bottom plate. Defects fatigue cracks caused by stress, with the accumulation of time, the compressive strength of the API Std 650 liquid storage tanks body decreases and corrosion cracks occur.

The hardness of the welds contacting these environments, including the heat-affected zones, shall be considered. The weld metal and adjacent heat-affected zone often contain a zone of hardness that is well in excess of a value of 22 on the Rockwell C scale and could be expected to be more susceptible to cracking than would unwelded metal. Any hardness criteria shall be a matter of agreement between the Purchaser and the API Std 650 liquid storage tanks manufacturer and shall be based on an evaluation of the expected hydrogen sulfide concentration in the product, the possibility of moisture being present on the inside metal surface, and the strength and hardness characteristics of base metal and weld metal.
