Design atmospheric storage tanks following API 650 standards.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides engineering tools to design atmospheric storage tanks according to the API 650 standard. It allows AI agents to calculate critical tank parameters including physical footprint via get_tank_dimensions, determine necessary shell thickness with calculate_shell_thickness, assess stability against environmental loads using evaluate_environmental_stability, and specify roof structures with design_tank_roof.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_shell_thickness

Determines the necessary thickness of the vertical steel plates for the tank shell

design_tank_roof

Determines the type and thickness of the roof structure

evaluate_environmental_stability

Assesses the tank's resistance to wind and seismic forces

get_tank_dimensions

Calculates the physical footprint and height of the tank based on required volume

Calculate the dimensions for a tank with a capacity of 5000 cubic meters.

The tank will have a diameter of 20 meters and a height of approximately 15.92 meters, with a footprint area of 314.16 square meters.

What is the required shell thickness for a tank with 10m diameter, 15m height, 900 kg/m3 density, and 250 MPa yield strength?

The required shell thickness is 8.5 mm, with a bottom plate thickness of 12.0 mm and a corrosion allowance of 2.0 mm.

Design a fixed roof for a tank with 12m diameter and 5 kPa internal pressure.

The design specifies a fixed roof with a thickness of 5.5 mm and requires standard structural support.

All calculations and design parameters are based on the API 650 standard for atmospheric storage tanks.
