Module 7 - API 650 Tutorial: Shell Thickness, Material Selection, Tank Design Calculations

API 650 Storage Tank Design – Full Learning Session
This video is part of a structured module delivered under the Industry Fellow Model, where real engineers share real industrial knowledge with young professionals.
In this session, we cover:• API 650 scope, purpose, and regulatory context in Malaysia• Material selection, toughness, and brittle fracture considerations• Shell design, hydrostatic pressure, and the 1-foot method• Foundation, bottom plate, shell erection, and roof assembly• Weld examination: RT, UT, MT, PT, VT, vacuum testing• Practical examples and Q&A with Malaysian engineers
This was delivered to 20 engineers through Engineer’s Digest — a platform built to bridge the gap between academia and industry for Malaysian engineers

Become a Fellow

A Fellow is an experienced engineer who shares real industry practice with young engineers — similar to the Industry Fellow Model by Josh Tenenberg.
You don’t need to teach alone.We will build the module together, and your time will be valued.
