The seal of floating roof API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel tanks is a device used to reduce the evaporation loss of the storage liquid in the annular space between the tank wall and the outer ring plate of the floating roof. The common sealing forms include mechanical seal, elastic filling seal, lip seal and secondary seal. No matter what kind of seal, the seal must be combined with the floating roof effectively to reduce the evaporation loss of the liquid in the floating roof.

The thickness of the API standard 650 mechanically-anchored steel 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.
