TRAINING BASICS OF TANK DESIGN AND ANALYSIS

TRAINING GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE TANKS

DESKRIPTION

The design and analysis of welded storage tanks can involve the application of a number of interrelated requirements in API 650. Application of these requirements may not always be intuitive to the storage tank engineer. This course provides the storage tank engineer a practical understanding of the basics of tank design and analysis. Tank component design, material considerations, fabrication and examination and testing will be covered, with a focus on API 650. This course covers design loads for tanks, including special requirements for wind and seismic loads and external pressure, temperature considerations related to brittle fracture and elevated temperature tanks, and design requirements for some basic tank designs (stainless and aluminum tanks, fixed roof and floating roof tanks, tanks with double bottoms, etc.). The course also gives the student a basic understanding of the evaluation of existing storage tanks in accordance with API 653, including the determination of tank minimum thickness, inspection intervals, repairs, hydrotest requirements and settlement evaluation. The focus of this course is design and analysis requirements, but also includes practical information that comes from instructors who have worked for Owner-Users as well as in a consulting capacity.

OBJECTIVES

This training course is designed to train individuals who are interested in the proper application of the storage tank Design, Construction and Inspection codes, as well as those who are seeking a better understanding of the Design and Inspection of storage tanks at chemicals and oil & petroleum storage terminals. The program will provide an in-depth knowledge of API 650, API 620, API 653 and other relevant standards.
