The advantages of API 650 tank

The advantages of API 650 tank

API 650 tank sets minimum requirements for the design, material, construction and testing of cylindrical steel tanks with different capacities and sizes on the ground, open roof and closed roof, which are roughly equivalent to atmoSPHEric pressure (not greater than the weight of the tank). If additional requirements are met, higher internal pressures are allowed. API 650 tank only covers storage tanks that evenly support the entire bottom and non-refrigerated storage tanks with a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

API 650 tank is made of carbon steel, austenitic duplex stainless steel and aluminum. API 650 tank can store oil, natural gas, chemicals, water and biofuels for some of the most common storage tanks in the petroleum industry. In addition, API 650 tank can store content at much lower pressures (maximum 2 ½ PSI) and higher temperatures (-40 degrees Fahrenheit to 500 degrees Fahrenheit) than the API 620 standard.
