API RP 652 Document Information:
Title
Linings of Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank Bottoms
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2005
Scope:
This recommended practice provides guidance on achieving effective
corrosion control in aboveground
storage tanks by application of tank bottom linings. It contains
information pertinent to the
selection of lining materials, surface preparation, lining
application, cure, and inspection of
tank bottom linings for existing and new storage tanks. In many cases,
tank bottom linings have
proven to be an effective method of preventing internal corrosion of
steel tank bottoms.
The intent of this recommended practice is to provide information and
guidance specific to
aboveground steel storage tanks in hydrocarbon service. Certain
practices recommended herein may
also be applicable to tanks in other services. This recommended
practice is intended to serve only
as a guide. Detailed tank bottom lining specifications are not
included.
This recommended practice does not designate specific tank bottom
linings for every situation
because of the wide variety of service environments.
NACE No.10/SSPC-PA 6 and NACE No. 11/SSPC-PA 8 are industry consensus
standards for installation of
linings on tank floors and vessels. They are written in compulsory
language and contain specific
criteria intended for use by persons who provide written
specifications for tank and vessel
linings. These documents should be given consideration when designing
and installing a lining
system for steel bottom tanks.
