I'm trying to layout the tanks on a saltwater disposal well. I bought a copy of API Spec 12F to get the tank dimensions and it only goes up to 750 bbl tanks. I'd really hate to have to spend $289 for API Std 650 (Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage-Tenth Edition)when I don't even know if what I'm looking for is in there and I'm pretty sure I'll never need it again.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the two sizes of 1,000 bbl tanks? I seem to recall that the "tall thousand" is 15-6 diameter and 32 ft tall, but I can't find the specification for a "squat thousand".

Does anyone have that number to hand?

Thanks,

David

Just a comment that I have seen bolted storage tanks used for salt water storage in a water injection field.
 
I have to. This client wants shop-fabricated steel.
