The roof of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks

API 650 can store oil, gas, chemical, water and biofuel for some of the most common tanks in the oil industry. API 650 can store contents at a lower pressure (maximum of 2 PSI) but at much higher temperature (-40 degrees F to 500 degrees F) than the standards of API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks. It can be any tank size.

Some defects may be found after the regular safety inspection for the API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks. The common API 650 austenitic stainless steel storage tanks defects are: Tank cracks, tank welding defects. The cracks on the base metal, surface and near surface of the tank wall shall be eliminated by grinding with circular arc, and then magnetic particle inspection or re inspection shall be carried out. Cracks in heat affected zone: generally, grinding method is used to eliminate cracks, and magnetic particle or dye flaw detection is used to confirm that there is no crack, and then repair welding or grinding smooth transition.

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.
