Re: [MW:12147] API storage tank settlement tolerance.

Dear All,

Yes it is the right API 650 code for tanks ring wall settelment.

Applying that, you need to split your ring wall circumference, depending on radius, into equal arcs no longer than 10m long each. Hence, during hydrotest, you load your tank in steps and you plug in the level of these circumferential points in each step.

This will help to control any differential excessive settelment

Dear All,

I have one storage tank to erect at site as per API 650.  The size of the tank is 54 meter diameter and during water fill up test we have to measure settlement.  Can any body give me information about tank settlement tolerance and in which standard it is specified.

Thanks,

Regards.

Manoj
