API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks load combinations

Atmospheric API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel 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 mechanically-anchored steel 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.

In this project a cylindrical tank 75 ft in diameter is designed for an internal pressure of 0.5 lbf/in.2 gauge in the vapor space. The plate material is ASTM A131 Grade B steel for thicknesses of 1/2 in. and less.
The top course of the butt-welded cylindrical sidewall is 1/4 in. thick. The tank API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks roof is a conical shape with a 2:12 slope and a 1/4 in. thickness with single full-fillet welded lap joints. The maximum design liquid level is 6 in. below the plane of juncture of the roof and sidewall.

The standard API 650 covers the design and calculation of different parts of the API Std 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks fuel tank. This specification is based on the knowledge and experience of buyers, manufacturers and users of API 650 welded storage tanks of different sizes and capacities. It is worth noting that the code requirements are minimal; stricter standards can be adopted for specific applications.
