When the liquid stored has a lower density than water, must the tank be designed with the density of water in API620?
In API650 ther is no doubt as two thicknesses are calculated, one with density of fluid (design) and another with density of water (hydrostatic test), and your select the higher of them.
But in API620 you only calculate one thickness and I don`t know if it must be done with the density of liquid to be stored or with the density of water.
Thanks
