Atmospheric API 650 storage tanks refer to storage tanks whose gas or vapor pressure is greater than -0.02MPa but less than 0.1MPa. Metal atmospheric storage tanks made of steel welded on the ground are often used to store petroleum, chemical and other similar liquids. Atmospheric API 650 storage tanks usually have a connecting pipe directly connected to the atmosphere, so that the operating pressure in the storage tank does not exceed the design pressure at all times.
