Title
UL Standard for Safety Steel Aboveground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Publication Date:
Dec 28, 2006
Scope:
These requirements cover steel primary, secondary and diked type
atmospheric storage tanks intended for noncorrosive, stable
flammable and combustible liquids that have a specific gravity not
exceeding 1.0 in aboveground applications.
Each tank type may be fabricated in a combination of various
shapes (cylindrical, rectangular or obround) and orientations
(horizontal, vertical) with or without multiple compartments, as
covered in this Standard.
These tanks are intended for installation and use in accordance
with the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30; the
Standard for Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31; the
Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A; the
Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion
Engines and Gas Turbines, NFPA 37; the Uniform Fire Code, NFPA 1;
and the International Fire Code published by the International Code
Council.
The tanks covered by these requirements are fabricated,
inspected and tested for leakage before shipment from the factory
as completely assembled vessels.
These requirements do not apply to tanks covered by the
Specification for Field-Welded Tanks for Storage of Production
Liquids, API 12D; and the Specification for Shop-Welded Tanks for
Storage of Production Liquids, API 12F.
These requirements do not cover special evaluations for
resistance to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, or other
natural disasters; or resistance to vehicle impact.
These requirements do not cover portable tanks intended for
transporting flammable or combustible liquids (such as shipping
containers), or mobile use applications (such as mounted on a
trailer). These types of products are covered by separate UN, DOT,
or equipment product standards.
