API 650

API 650

(OP)
Does anybody know if/where API 650 is referenced in standard codes?

RE: API 650

(OP)
Yes this is the specification, but do you know which standard specifies API 650 for use? ASCE, ASME...?

RE: API 650

It looks like this issue has already been discussed here on Eng-Tips:

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=80463

As well as this discussion:

From these discussions, it would appear that API and ASME are competing standards.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

RE: API 650

(OP)
I want to use the structural seismic forces for foundation design that are specified in Appendix E of API 650 for tanks. For the project they have specified the use of CSA B.51 and ASME Sec. VIII. Was wondering if I could justify using API 650.

RE: API 650

Use API 620.
