Erection requirements for API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks

The factors affecting the "small breathing" loss of API 650 welded aluminum 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.

The tank shall be filled with water to the design liquid level unless height is limited as noted in API 620 standard Q.8.1. After the tank is filled with water and before the pneumatic pressure is applied, anchorage, if provided, shall be tightened against the hold-down brackets. All welds in the API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks shell, including the corner weld between the shell and the bottom, shall be visually checked for tightness.

If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API 650 welded aluminum storage tanks tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees F. It requires that you have a minimum material thickness of 3/16 inch.
