API
TANK is a comprehensive engineering software program for PC compatible computers that gives you the tools to design, analyze and evaluate oil storage tanks according to the very latest API 650 & API 653 standards.
TANK is much more than the computerization of a time consuming engineering task. Its development was shaped by the daily input of many 'API 650 expert' engineers who agreed to help us make sure that TANK lets them do everything they need to do, effectively and efficiently.
A menu-driven scroll and select interface provides logical options when and where you expect them. Context-sensitive help provides instant technical assistance for each data field.
TANK also provides control options for everything from calculations to screen colors, so you can customize your own TANK environment. Do you want to use the built-in API material database from 1988 or 1993? Do you want to consider corrosion in the Appendix P nozzle flexibility calculations, wind girder calculations, or internal pressure calculations? Which of the shell settlement calculation methods do you wish to use? What wind pressure do you wish to use? These are just a few of the options that let you achieve results your way.
TANK is provided with several standard units files, but no matter what system of units you care to work with, TANK will accommodate it through the same custom unit management system that is found in our CAESAR II pipe stress analysis software. You can even convert an existing job into a completely new set of units.
Included within TANK, is a material database and editor, along with a scratch pad for tank sizing and cost estimation.
We think you will agree that these and other features make TANK the best possible solution for your API 650 & 653 requirements today.
