The updated standard will help continue operational excellence and trust between operators and manufacturers. API Standard 650, Welded Tanks for Oil Storage, Thirteenth Edition, has been published to ensure the safety, sustainability, and environmental performance of oil storage tanks. Designs new tanks and rerates existing tanks, calculates shell plate thicknesses and weights, provides detailed tank drawings. TRI.TANK650 is a comprehensive software package for the design and rating of welded steel oil storage tanks in accordance with API Standard 650, 8th and 9th Editions. RE: software recommendations for API 650 tank design JStephen (Mechanical) 27 Sep 06 23:20 To my way of thinking, you'd want to use the software when you are very familiar with the code it uses and do a lot of tanks. The best engineering software for structural design and code check of steel connections and concrete details according to AISC, Eurocode, and other national. One thing I notice in that software description is, one place, they say that floating roofs are supported, and then elsewhere, they don't list the API-650 appendices that deal with floating roofs as being supported. One factor would be to what extent you're willing to change the way you design/draw/detail tanks to match the software.
