Api 650

This document provides examples of tank shell thickness calculations according to API 650 standards. It includes two case studies showing the step-by-step calculations for determining the minimum required shell thickness of storage tanks based on given design parameters such as internal pressure, temperature, material properties, dimensions, and corrosion allowance. Equations from API 650 are used to calculate thickness based on design stress and test stress.
