Are API 12F tanks limited to the standard sizes in Table 1? I.E., is the max capacity for a 12F tank 750 BBL? My thinking is that then any larger shop fab tank would be API 650 App J? The reason I ask is our project is procuring 1000 and 2000 BBL tanks and I am trying to ...
Finally, a wind load analysis was developed to study the stress levels and uplift deformation of the API 12F tank with greatest aspect ratio (H/D). The presented research provides meaningful engineering calculations to evaluate the current design and capacity of the API 12F flat bottom tanks ...

(12).(12)a=0.5D2twhere "a" corresponds to element size, D is the nominal diameter of the tank, and t is the thickness for the bottom course of the shell, units need to be consistent [66]. Furthermore, various element sizes are introduced in the analysis, such as 101 mm, 165 mm,...
