API 650 Tanks

The API 650 is the American standard for welded flat-bottomed vertical storage tanks. The American Petroleum Institute dictates the standard for the tank design, manufacture, fabrication, welding, inspection and installation requirements. 

Depending on the desired design and design conditions, these cylindrical tanks are equipped with a conical roof or a doomed roof, with or without anchors and stiffening rings, such as wind girders and/or a top corner ring. 

Naturally, these tanks can be provided with a spiral staircase, a cage ladder or a stairway. In terms of material, a form of duplex is often chosen. 

Due to this material being stronger than normal austenitic stainless steel or carbon steel variants, thin walls can be employed, which ensures a more rapid, higher quality and affordable tank.

The API 650 tanks are versatile and can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients, ensuring optimal performance and safety standards.

Why Choose Our API 650 Standard Storage Tanks?

The API 650 standard is widely used for tanks designed to withstand low internal pressures, which makes them a good choice for storing liquid products such as crude oil, gasoline, chemicals and water. Other than oil storage and refineries, these steel tanks are also commonly used in pipelines and terminals.
