Dimensional Tolerances Based On API 650

The document outlines dimensional tolerances for various components of an API 650 storage tank, including: 1. The maximum out of plumbness for the tank shell is 1/200 of the total height, and out of plumbness between shell courses cannot exceed flatness and waviness specifications. 2. Radii at the bottom corners cannot exceed specified tolerances. 3. Peaking at vertical welds and banding at horizontal welds cannot exceed 13 mm. 4. Flat spots cannot exceed applicable plate flatness and waviness standards. 5. Foundations must be level within ±3 mm over various circumference distances, depending on the presence of a concrete ring wall. 6

DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES (API 650)

No. Item Tolerances Reference Section


- The maximum out of plumbness of the top of the shell
relative to bottom of shell shall not exceed 1/200 of the total
tank height
- The out of plumbness in one sheel course shall not exceed
1 Plumbness the permissible variations for flatness and waviness as See 7.5.2
specified in ASTM A6M/A6, ASTM A20M/A20 or ASTM
A480M/A480, whichever is applicable.

- Radii measured at 0.3 m (1 ft) above the bottom corner


shall not exceed the following tolerances :

2 Roundness See 7.5.3

- Deviations at vertical weld joints shall not exceed 13 mm.


3 Peaking (By using sweep board with 90 cm long with the same See 7.5.4 (a)
radius of the tank)
- Deviations at horizontal weld joints shall not exceed 13 mm.
4 Banding (By using 90 cm straight edge verticall sweep board) See 7.5.4 (b)

- Shall not exceed the appropriate plate flatness and


5 Flat Spots waviness as required by ASTM A6, A20 or A480 as See 7.5.4 (c)
applicable.
For Horizontal Foundation

top of the ring wall shall be level within ± 3 mm in any 9 m of
the circumference.
- Where a concrete ring wall is not provided, the foundation
under the shell shall be level within ± 3 mm in any 3 m of
6 Foundations the circumference. See 7.5.5

For Sloping Foundation
