MAWP of API 650 Tank
MAWP of API 650 Tank
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am trying to determine the MAWP of an API 650 tank with an internal design pressure of 3 IWC. The tank is 15' in diameter and 20' high built in 1972. I'm using E-Tank 2000 to calculate the MAWP and it's telling me the MAWP of the tank is 69.28 IWC (2.5 psi). I am wondering if it is common for a tank's MAWP to be this much higher than the design pressure. Thanks.

Also, this question is probably better asked in the Storage Tank Engineering forum.
