About this Training
This API 650 – Aboveground Storage Tanks course provides in-depth technical knowledge for engineers involved in the design of aboveground storage tanks for industrial applications.
The course is delivered 100% online and on-demand, allowing participants to study at their own pace. Instructor support will be provided through the consultation forum on the Virtual Campus. Participants will also receive one-year access to the learning platform for continued review of lessons, calculations, and case studies.
Course Outline
This e-learning course covers the main engineering principles required to design storage tanks in accordance with API 650 and complementary design criteria.
Participants will learn how to define design conditions, select suitable materials, calculate tank shell and bottom thicknesses, design fixed and floating roofs, verify wind and seismic loads, analyze external pressure, size nozzles and reinforcements, and design anchorage systems.
The course also includes practical case studies, conceptual questions, design and calculation sheets, and lessons learned from real industrial projects involving API 650 – Aboveground Storage Tanks.
- Design storage tanks according to API 650 code and complementary criteria.
- Select materials considering corrosion, mechanical properties, and regulatory requirements.
- Calculate wall thicknesses based on design height and hydrostatic load.
- Design tank bottoms, including annular plates and thickness distribution.
- Model fixed and floating roofs with self-supporting or supported structures.
- Verify structural stability using wind rings and stiffening elements.
- Analyze external pressure combined with wind loads and overturning moments.
- Size standard and special connections and flanges with structural reinforcements.
- Evaluate seismic actions and their impact on the base, displacement, and strength.
- Design anchor bolts to resist uplift, wind, and seismic loads.
Upon completion, participants will be equipped with the theoretical and practical knowledge required to design and calculate the main components of aboveground storage tanks according to API 650.
