Because natural conditions will affect the service life, storage safety and construction cost of storage tanks such as API standard 650 anchored tanks. Generally, the natural conditions that need to be considered before API standard 650 anchored tanks design and construction are: regional temperature, wind load, snow load, ground endurance, external environment corrosion, etc.
