API 650 Storage Tanks
API 650 is the global standard for large, atmospheric storage tanks, designed for hydrostatic load, not internal pressure. The choice between a Fixed Roof (for water, fuel oil) and a Floating Roof (for crude oil) depends on product volatility to prevent emissions. The standard integrates other codes like ASTM (materials) and ASME (welding) for field erection and testing.
