Flat roof?

API-620 doesn't really have provisions for a flat roof. In vessel design, a flat end would be treated like a blind flange and would be unreasonably thick for most applications (designed in bending rather than as a membrane). A low-slope cone would be more common.
Typically, designers jump from a API-650 tank design to an API-620 tank based on a higher pressure.
API-650 tanks can be designed only to a maximum of 2.5 psig.
Flat roofed tanks are best suited for atmospheric applications.
What is your maximum operating pressure ?
