API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks seismic design

The interior of API 650 storage tanks to be internally lined or coated must have all edges rounded to a minimum of 3 mm radius. Internal welds must be completely seal welded, ground smooth, and free from API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks surface porosity, pockets, and high spots. Remove weld spatter. Vendor as specified on API 650 storage tanks drawing must perform additional surface preparation.

The thickness of the API Std 650 welded aluminum storage tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.
