The capacity of API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks

The cone slope of the completed API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks foundation is 15/1000 for the general foundation and less than 35/1000 for the soft foundation. After the foundation settlement of the storage tank is basically stable, the surface slope must be greater than eight thousandths. The edge of the tank bottom should be more than 0.3 meters higher than the surrounding ground. Above the ground, the tank bottom leakage detection tube should be drawn from the foundation sand cushion and cross the foundation ring wall or the slope protection surface. The circumferential distance should be less than 20 meters, and each API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks should have at least 4 detection tubes.

All API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks fillet welds shall consist of a minimum of two passes. The ends of the fillet welds shall be 2 in. from the rat hole, and these welds shall be deposited by starting 2 in. from the rat hole and welding away from the rat hole. An acceptable alternative to stopping fillet welds 2 in. short of the rat hole would be to weld continuously through the rat hole from one side of the stiffener to the opposite side. All craters in fillet welds shall be repaired by back welding.

Oil, Gas, Chemical, Water, and Bio-Fuel storage. Maximum of the most common welded steel tanks used in industry are designed following API 650. Tanks typically found in Refinery API standard 650 mechanically-anchored flat-bottom tanks tank farms, Terminals, Pipelines, and other process facilities use these tanks.
