Design Criteria of a Code

The Design Code Criteria are the basic rules upon which the design is based. They Cover the design formulas or methods, the design loads and allowable stresses.

04/08/234

Design Criteria of API Std 650

API Std 650 is based on maximum Principal stress theory. Thickness of tank shell is calculated by membrane stress due to hydrostatic pressure + internal vapour pressure.

Allowable Stress : Design Condition (Sd) – Min of 2/3 of Yield Stress and 2/5 of UTS

Allowable Stress : Hydrostatic Condition (St) – Min of 3/4 of Yield Stress and 3/7 of UTS
