EN S355 plates API standard 650 ground supported tanks

Generally, the snow load in the API standard 650 ground supported tanks construction area should be considered before the design and construction of the tank. The snow load in the API standard 650 ground supported tanks construction area has an impact on the tank roof design and operation, especially in the area with large snow load, the roof load of large storage tank with large diameter increases. Anti freezing, heat preservation and waterproof measures shall be taken for the additional facilities of storage tanks, such as pumps, breathing valves, flame arresters, detection instruments and thermal insulation layers.

Thickness as it Affects Preheat and Post-heat Requirements
Plate with thicknesses below 1/2 in. is reasonably notch tough. In most steels, when the API standard 650 ground supported tanks used plate thickness exceeds 3/4 in. – 1 in., notch toughness, particularly as welded, decreases sharply. The decrease in notch toughness can be minimized by the conventional post-heat treatment and, in many steels, by preheat treatment. The benefits of preheat treatment in steels 3/4 in. – 1 in. thick have been demonstrated; similar benefits could be expected in thicker steels, but sufficient experimental data are currently lacking.

The API 650 specification provides guidelines for the API standard 650 ground supported tanks design, manufacturing, materials, installation and inspection of welded vertical and cylindrical tanks. Such containers must be on the ground and have a closed or open top.
