What is the difference between API 620 and API 650 Storage Tanks?

Both API 620 and API 650 Storage Tanks can be shop fabricated or field erected depending upon your site and project’s requirements.

In general, API 650 tanks are ideal when you need large capacity, lower pressure or ambient-moderate temperature storage. API 650 is often more cost-effective and often, but not always, comes in a vertical cylindrical design.
