Internal floating roof API 650 flexible liquid storage tanks

If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 only covers tanks that support the whole bottom evenly and API 650 flexible liquid 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.

Design of Reinforcement for Single Openings in Tank Walls
The 20 in. x 29 in. obround manhole shown in Figure F-5 is located in solid plate in the sidewall of a cylindrical storage tank 45 ft in diameter in an area where the thickness of the wall plate, tw, is 1/2 in. No corrosion allowance is required. The total internal pressure, Pl + Pg, at the horizontal centerline of the opening is 27.5 lbf/in.2 gauge. The thickness of the wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.485 in. The manhole neck is fabricated by welding from 3/8 in. plate. The materials in the API 620 tank wall, the manhole neck, and the reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A516 Grade 60. The joints in the welded steel storage oil tank wall and the longitudinal joint or joints in the manhole neck are double-welded butt joints, spot radiographed in accordance with 7.16 and 7.17.
