American Petroleum Institute Tanks

At Southeastern Construction, we design and fabricate custom above ground, welded steel storage tanks that meet the exacting standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API).

API establishes standards for the design and fabrication of welded steel storage tanks for storing oil and other liquids. The API standard is applicable for stationary atmospheric and low-pressure petroleum storage tanks used in all sectors of the petroleum and petrochemical industry. We serve customers in the oil and gas industry and beyond for their custom, over dimensional, API certified storage tanks in carbon steel and stainless steel.

API 620 Tanks

The design of API 620 tanks has a single, vertical, centered axis of revolution and is used for materials with higher internal pressures such as liquified natural gas and cryogenic tanks. The API 620 requires a flat or elevated bottom in order to properly store the steel tank.

API 650 Tanks

The design of API 650 tanks allows them to store gas, oil, chemicals, water, and biofuel for common steel tanks in the oil industry. API 650 tanks need even support for the whole bottom and stored in non-refrigerated facilities that have a maximum design temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

API Tank Dimensions

We manufacture API tanks of various shapes and sizes to accommodate different capacities and applications. Diameters for API tanks can range from 36″ to 192″.

36″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 10,000 gallons (typically store smaller quantities of materials, such as on a drilling rig or at a small-scale production facility).
48″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 25,000 gallons (commonly used in small to medium-scale industrial applications).
72″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 60,000 gallons (suitable for larger industrial applications).
96″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 120,000 gallons (typically used in large-scale industrial applications).
120″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 220,000 gallons (commonly used to store petroleum or other chemicals).
144″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 320,000 gallons (suitable for larger-scale petroleum storage applications).
192″ diameter tanks: Capacity up to 500,000 gallons (often used to store petroleum or other liquids in large-scale industrial facilities).
