(OP)
API 650 Figure F.1 Detail i does not specify the size of the weld joining the compression bar to the tank shell. Any wisdom out there? How about for a shell 0.875 inches thick and a compression bar 1.25 inches thick? Would a 0.25 inch fillet weld be OK?

(Internal pressure * Horizontal projected area - Dead Load of Roof) / Circumference = lb/ft of circumference
(External pressure * Horizontal projected area + Dead Load of Roof) / [COS (Roof Angle) * Circumference] = lb/ft of circumference
The second case assumes no center support. This is just one possible approach, and I am sure there are some factors that I have missed.
