Whizzzz...

There is no "api 650 formula for horizontal tank".

In the preamble to the API-650 Code, it states that the code applies to verical axis, flat bottomed tanks operating at near atmospheric pressures.

If you must have a horizontal axis tank, you must use a different code.

What liquid are you trying to contain, what is the volume and temperature and....please tell us.....it this the first tank you have ever designed or specified ???
