API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks of adequate safety

API 650 petroleum storage tanks are used for API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks storage. API 650 petroleum storage tanks can be made of carbon steel, austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy (only for low temperature). Welding API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks certification is regulated by Section 10 of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). For API 650 petroleum storage tanks, non-destructive inspections are required, but third-party inspections are not required.

The main types of metal storage tanks are vertical dome roof tank, vertical external floating roof tank, vertical inner floating roof tank, spherical oil tank and horizontal oil storage tank. API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks is vertical tank. The capacity of vertical dome roof oil storage tank is generally less than 10000 cubic meters. The wall plate adopts sleeve type fillet weld, and it is usually installed by inverted or forward installation method during construction.

Determination of Required Capacity
The aggregate capacities required for any vent valves, pressure-relieving valves, and/or vacuum-relieving valves to be provided should be determined as follows:
a)For thermal breathing and product movement, the rules given in API 2000 shall be followed. The required capacity as the result of the product movement into the tank API standard 650 aboveground oil storage tanks given in API 2000, shall be multiplied by the ratio of the absolute tank pressure to atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbf/in.2 absolute).
b)For supplemental safety pressure-relieving devices to take care of extra venting capacity required in case of external fire exposure, the rules in API 2000 shall be followed.
