Storage Tank Course

The design and analysis of welded storage tanks can involve the application of a number of interrelated requirements of API 650. Application of these requirements may not always be intuitive to personnel responsible for storage tank integrity. This course will provide the attendee a practical understanding of the basics of aboveground storage tank design and analysis. Many aspects of tank design are presented such as roof designs, foundations, materials considerations, fabrication, examination, and testing. The course emphasizes these design elements relative to API 650 requirements, but other storage tank designs, such as API 620 tanks, are also covered within the course.
