API Std 650 low-alloy steel tanks internal floating roof loads

The API 650 is the American standard for welded flat-bottomed vertical API Std 650 low-alloy steel tanks storage tanks. This standard dictates tank design, manufacture, welding, inspection and installation requirements.

The seal of floating roof API Std 650 low-alloy 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.

Uplift on Foundation
For API Standard 620 tanks with an internal design pressure less than 1 lbf/in.2 gauge, the uplift shall be taken as the smaller of the maximum uplift values computed under the following conditions:
a)The internal design pressure times 1.5 plus the design wind load on the shell and roof.
b)The internal design pressure plus 0.25 lbf/in.2 gauge plus the design wind load on the shell and roof.
