API Standards
Standards
API 650 : Welded Steel Tank for oil storage

This Standard establishes minimum requirements for material, design, fabrication, erection, and testing
for vertical, cylindrical,aboveground, closed- and open-top, welded carbon or stainless steel storage
tanks in various sizes and capacities
REFERING TO ASME Section V, IX
API 653 : Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction

This standard covers Above ground steel storage tanks built to API Standard 650 and its predecessor
API 12C.
It provides minimum requirements for maintaining the integrity of such tanks after they have been placed
in-service and addresses inspection,repair, alteration, relocation, and reconstruction.
API RP 651 : Cathodic Protection of Above Ground Storage Tank (AST)

API RP 652 : Lining of Above Ground Storage Tank (AST)
API RP 575 :Inspection of Atmospheric and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks
This standard provides useful information and recommended practices for the maintenance and
inspections for AST.
API RP 571 : Damage Mechanisms Affecting Fixed Equipment in the

Refining Industry

Types of Storage Tanks,

Storage tanks in Turkey
ATMOSPHERIC
STORAGE TANKS
Types of Storage Tanks
1.1 Types of Atmospheric Storage Tank Roofs

The most common type of
atmospheric storage tank is
the fixed cone roof tank,
These roofs are normally supported by
internal structural but can be fully selfsupporting in smaller diameters
(typically, 60 ft [3 m] diameter or less).
up to 300 ft (91.5 m) in diameter &
64 ft (19.5 m) in height (larger
diameter tanks have been built,
mostly outside the U.S.)
13
ATMOSPHERIC
STORAGE TANKS
1.1.1 Types of Atmospheric Storage Tank Roofs

The umbrella roof has radially-arched
segmental plates with integral framing
support members (usually without
internal support columns).
In the steel dome roof tank, the roof

plates are usually formed with curved
segments joined to be self-supporting.
14
ATMOSPHERIC
STORAGE TANKS

The floating-roof tank is designed to
minimize filling and breathing losses
by eliminating or minimizing the vapor
space above the stored liquid. The
shell and bottom of this type of tank
are similar to those of the fixed roof
tanks, but in this case, the roof is
designed to float on the surface of the
stored liquid. Older styles of floating
roofs include single steel deck details
without annular pontoons. Such roofs
have no reserve buoyancy and
are susceptible to sinking in service.
15
ATMOSPHERIC
STORAGE TANKS
Annular-pontoon and double-deck Some floating-roof tanks have

fixed aluminium geodesic dome roofs installed on top of the tank shell to
reduce product vapor loss or to eliminate the need to drain rainwater
from the roof. These are considered internal floating roofs is a tank with
a fixed steel cone roof over a floating roof.
16
LOW PRESSURE STORAGE TANKS
1.2 LOW PRESSURE STORAGE TANKS

Low-pressure storage tanks are those designed to operate with pressures in
their gas or vapor spaces exceeding the 2.5 lbf/in.2 (18 kPa) gauge permissible
in API Std 650, but not exceeding the 15 lbf/in.2 (103 kPa) gauge maximum
limitation of API Std 620.
1.2.1 Types of Low Pressure Tank Roofs

Tanks that have cylindrical shells and cone
or dome roofs are typically used for
pressures less than about 5 lbf/in.2
(34.5 kPa) gauge. Tank bottoms may be
flat or have a shape similar to the roof.
Hold-down anchorage of the shell is
generally required.
Vapor Dome Roof

17
1.2.2 Types of Low Pressure Storage Tank Roofs

For pressures above about 5 lbf/in.2
Gauge (34.5 kPa), hemispheroid,
spheroid, and noded spheroid tank
types are commonly used. Tanks for
this application are now typically
constructed as spheres. Such tanks
are designed to withstand the vapor
pressure that may be developed
within a tank having no devices or
means to change or relieve the internal
volume.
Plain Hemispheroids

TANK FIELDS IN TURKEY
Generally for Design and Construction Reference is API 650 or its predecessor API 12C
for AST , but API 650 standard is not applied correctly.
Tanks do not have any API monogram
Last 10 years most of the international operators has assign Third party inspections for
manufacturing and constructions
Design data, drawing,calculation is not available
Most of the tanks do not have any seismic design calculation & tanks are not
constructed accordingly .
Inservice Inspections are not according to PI 653 except few Internatianal Oil&Gas
companies
API Authorized Inspector is not used for inservice inspections,
There is no plan about sel,emergency of fire earkquake, xxxxx
Most of the field ,tank distance is according to turkish Regulations, but it is not
according to NFPA.
Fire fighting system is available but not proper, there is no risk assesment
Almost %50 percentage of tanks do not have annular plate,
Foundation of tanks, used sand , geographic search is not proper.
Improper earthing connections,
Generally painting and rarely sacrifical metal used for cathodic protection
22
TANK FIELDS IN TURKEY
Stairs and walk wayy are directly welded to tank,
Thickness of shellplate is according to API 650&653 for shell and roof plate
Poor welding quality specially 10 years and older tanks,
