API standard 650 uplifting tanks designed to operate under external pressure conditions

Under the condition of static storage without receiving and sending operation, the temperature of gas space, evaporation rate, depth and pressure of vapor in the API standard 650 uplifting tanks will change with the change of temperature and pressure in a day. The oil loss caused by the process of discharging oil vapor and inhaling air gas is called "small breathing" loss, which is also called static storage loss of oil tanks.

Shell Stiffening Rings for Tanks That Contain Liquid
Internal or external shell stiffening rings may be required to maintain roundness when the tank is subjected to wind, vacuum, or other specified loads. When API standard 650 uplifting tanks stiffening rings are required, the stiffener-to-shell weld details shall be in accordance with Figure Q-1 and Q.3.5.2 through Q.3.5.5.
Three-plate laps or butt-weld junctions in tank bottoms shall be not closer than 12 in. from each other or from the butt-welds of the annular plates.
Bottom plates, other than annular bottom plates for a 9% or 5% nickel steel or stainless steel tank that contains liquid, may have a minimum thickness of 3/16 in. exclusive of any specified corrosion allowance.

For open top and fixed roof API 650 tanks, the net working capacity is the liquid volume contained between the minimum operating level (top of API 650 tanks API standard 650 uplifting tanks outlet connection) and the maximum operating level [limited to the bottom of overflow connection, 75 mm below foam chamber connection, or 150 mm below rim, whichever is greater.
