Design Metal Temperature????? Help please

(OP)
Hi all,
I need a little help specifying a design metal temperature for  an API 650 storage tank.  Can there be a rang or temperatures or just one that is calculate.  If one, how can this be calculated.  I've been reading the standard api book but I am confused!
Any help would be great thanks!

RE: Design Metal Temperature????? Help please

If your tank is in North America, you can use the temperature map in API-650, Section 2 and add 15F.  In this case, the DMT = Map Temp + 15F.  Let me know how that works for you.
