This course will not focus on specific size tanks for typical applications. Instead, it will go through the complete design process for preparing plans and specifications for any size tank for the storage of combustible and flammable liquids. The course is not limited to the major provisions of API Standard 650. It will also review in detail the entire document including its 18 separate appendices. These other critical sections involve topics from pontoon supported roofs and low pressure tanks to some shop fabricated tanks and under bottom connections to tank on grade.
