The foundations for API 650 tanks

Usually, the wind load in the API 650 tanks construction area should be considered before the tank design and construction. The wind load in the API 650 tanks construction area has an impact on the stability and economy of the API 650 tanks. In the area with large wind load, it is safe to design the tank as "squat". When calculating the wind force, the influence of the thickness of the insulation layer of the API 650 tanks, the shape of the ladder, the platform, the pipeline and the top cover must be considered.

Proof Tests for Establishing Allowable Working PressuresBecause pressures in liquid storage tanks built according to these rules vary quite markedly from the tops to the bottoms of the tanks, proof testing of these tanks presents problems not usually encountered in the construction of unfired pressure vessels–especially where the API 650 tanks parts under investigation are located near the bottoms of the tanks. The principal difficulty is devising a test or series of tests that will reliably establish the working pressure that can be permitted on the part of the unproven design without, at the same time, imposing hazardous conditions on other parts located at higher levels in the tank.

API 650 internal floating roof oil tank is a volatile liquid storage tank with a combination of a dome tank and an internal floating roof structure, which is a floating roof assembled under the dome of the API 650 tanks storage tank. The combination of the vault roof outside the API 650 storage tank and the floating roof inside the tank has been widely used in gasoline, aviation kerosene and more volatile chemical liquids.
