is there any procedure to make the necessary cost estimation for a fixed roof storage tank which must be fabricated according to API 650.
what we need is an approximate values for:
1- foundation
2- erection and construction
3- how many tons of carbon steel plates needed taking into consideration that the diameter of the tank is 25 m and 6 m hight
many thanx in advance
RE: API 650 carbon steel storage tank cost estimation
Put together an API 650 Tank Data Sheet, send it to several tank companies, wait for responses.
Or, put together an API 650 Tank Data Sheet, send it to an engineer or engineering firm, pay them to do a basic tank design and make one drawing with enough information for tank companies to bid that tank ( allowing for alternates, etc, but make them bid THAT tank ), send that to tank companies and wait for responses.

Modern vehicles are highly sophisticated systems incorporating electrical, electronic, software and mechanical components. Mechanical systems are giving way to advanced software and electronic devices, driving automakers to innovate and differentiate their vehicles via the electric and electronic (E/E) architecture. As the pace of change accelerates, automotive companies need to evolve their development processes to deliver and maximize the value of these architectures. Download Now
Modern cars, trucks, and other vehicles feature an ever-increasing number of sophisticated electrical and electronic features, placing a larger burden on the wiring harness that enables these new features. As complexity rises, current harness manufacturing methods are struggling to keep pace due to manual data exchanges and the inability to capture tribal knowledge. A model-based wire harness manufacturing engineering flow automates data exchange and captures tribal knowledge through design rules to help harness manufacturers improve harness quality and boost efficiency.

This paper will focus on the quantification of the complexity related costs in harness variations in order to model them, allowing automated algorithms to optimize for these costs. A number of real world examples will be provided as well. Since no two businesses are alike, it is the aim of this paper to provide the foundational knowledge and methodology so the reader can assess their own business to model how variation complexity costs affect their business.
