API 620 Verifying for Maximun Allowable Working Pressure
API 620 Verifying for Maximun Allowable Working Pressure
(OP)
Greetings,
I'm verifying some storage tank MAWP's of which some are 650's and some are 620's. Now the 650 were basically straight forward because they have an explicit formula for MAWP but the 620's don't, that I know of. Does anyone know a way to solve this problem? Remember I already have the tanks, I want to verify if the pressures that they are designed to work to are correct.
Thanks,
Joe

RE: API 620 Verifying for Maximun Allowable Working Pressure
API-650 has formulas for maximum pressure, but they have also changed up the way pressure and seismic and wind interact, and have some contradictory formulas in different sections, so it's not as clear-cut as you make it sound.

Not that you wouldn't be as familiar with that as me Joe.
