Frequently Asked Questions
What is an API 650 tank?
An API 650 tank is a welded, vertical, cylindrical, aboveground storage tank designed, fabricated, erected and inspected in accordance with API Standard 650 and the project specification, typically for services operating at pressures approximating atmospheric.
What is the difference between tank fabrication and erection?
Fabrication covers manufacturing tank components such as shell plates, bottom plates, roof components and structural members. Erection is the assembly and welding of these components at the project site to form the completed tank.
What tank erection methods do you use?
We select between conventional bottom-up erection and hydraulic/PLC jacking based on tank dimensions, site access, crane availability and the project construction methodology — not on tank size alone.
What materials can be used for an API 650 tank?
Carbon steel, stainless steel and other permitted materials, selected based on the stored product, operating temperature, corrosion environment and project specification.
How much does an API 650 tank cost?
Cost depends on capacity, dimensions, material, shell thickness, roof type, accessories, fabrication and erection method, site location, inspection requirements and schedule. Share your tank capacity, diameter, height, stored product, material, location and completion date for a preliminary budget.
Do you provide API 650 tank construction in both Singapore and Malaysia?
Yes. L-Vision delivers API 650 tank engineering, fabrication and field erection for industrial projects in both Singapore and Malaysia, coordinating the tank package with the wider process plant scope where required.
