API 650 aboveground welded storage tanks designed for elevated temperature service

The thickness of the API 650 aboveground welded storage tanks wall plate, t, required by 5.10.3 for the latitudinal unit forces, T2, acting at this level is 0.57 in. The nozzle neck is seamless steel pipe and conforms to ASTM A53, Grade A; the materials in the tank wall and reinforcing pad conform to ASTM A442 Grade 55. The main joints in the tank walls are fully radiographed, double-welded butt joints. The adequacy of the reinforcement and attachment welds shown in Figure F-7 shall be determined.
To determine the length of the nozzle neck within the limits of reinforcement, the smaller of the following calculated values shall be used:(2.5)(0.625) = 1.56 in.
(2.5)(0.375) + 0.75 = 1.69 in.

API 650 tank has the advantages of less load on the floating plate, simple and light structure, and can save the central drainage pipe and rotating floating ladder on the API 650 aboveground welded storage tanks floating plate. The materials for easy construction and maintenance and sealing parts can avoid aging due to sunlight.
