Advance Tank provides our customers with field erected tanks built in strict accordance with the American Petroleum Institute’s (API) standards. As an API member, we are up-to-date on the latest news, policies, and design requirements. Advance Tank provides custom design, fabrication and erection of tanks that meet API standards and customer specific requirements.
Aug 22, 2014 The API 650 Standard was first published in 1961 by the American Petroleum Institute to create a consistent methodology by which tanks for the oil and gas industry are built. For industries that use above ground storage tanks for fertilizer, water, chemicals, food products, etc., there is no federal law requiring the use of API.
With in-house engineering, experienced drafters, complete fabrication capabilities and field crews located throughout the country, we will be there when you need us. API 12D STANDARD The API 12D specification is utilized in the fabrication and erection of field welded tanks for storage of production liquids. In general, this standard is commonly used by upstream petrochemical companies. The API 12D standard is to field erected tanks as API 12F is to shop built tanks. API 12D predetermines tank dimensions, design pressure and vacuums, with accessories and testing requirements.
This eliminates the need for further engineering, effectively reducing the cost of each tank.
