SafeRoof is intended to aid in the design and analysis of tanks to API 650.Look carefully and you will see oil storage tanks all around us. Obviously, if for some reason (lightning strikes for instance) a combustible gas mixture in the tank is ignited and a deflagration occurs, we want to ensure that the pressure is relieved in a controlled manner and the the contents of the tank remain intact. This can be accomplished by following design guidelines in American Petroleum Institute Standard 650 which can be used to ensure that the roof-to-shell joint is frangible and that the roof will detach from the tank if over-pressurized.
