CODE SPECIFICATIONS
API 650 – Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage
API 650 standard covers adequate safety and reasonable economy for tanks used in the storage of petroleum, petroleum products and other liquid products. ...It establishes minimum requirements for material, design, fabrication, erection, and testing for vertical, cylindrical, above ground, closed- and open-top welded storage tanks for internal pressures approximating atmospheric pressure. A higher internal pressure is permitted when additional requirements are met. This Standard applies only to tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93°C (200°F).
This standard is not based on set tank sizes, nor does it cover storage tanks that are being erected in areas subject to more stringent regulations than what are included in this standard. API 650 is intended to help purchasers and manufacturers in ordering, fabricating and erecting tanks based on whatever size tank may best meet their needs. It is not intended to prohibit purchasing or fabricating tanks that meet specifications other than those contained in this standard.

Each tank type may be fabricated in a combination of various shapes and orientations with or without multiple compartments. Before shipment from the factory, the tank is inspected and tested for leakage as a completely assembled vessel.
These tanks are intended for installation and use in accordance with the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30; the Standard for Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31; the Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A; the Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines, NFPA 37; the Uniform Fire Code, NFPA 1; and the International Fire Code published by the International Code Council.
Requirements do not apply to tanks covered by the Specification for Field-Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids, API 12D; and the Specification for Shop-Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids, API 12F.
Special evaluations for resistance to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, or other natural disasters; or resistance to vehicle impact are not covered in these requirements.
These requirements do not cover portable or mobile tanks intended for transporting flammable or combustible liquids. These types of products are covered by separate UN, DOT, or equipment product standards.
