Title
Aboveground Storage Tank Standards: A Tutorial
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Sep 1, 1994
Scope:
1.2 Scope
The procedures contained in this tutorial address the prevention of
leaks or catastrophic loss caused by corrosion of the tank bottom or
shell, brittle fracture, and excessive settlement. And, most
importantly, they show how the API inspection and maintenance
documents influence the design of new or proposed tanks.
This document is applicable to ASTs fabricated and/or maintained per
the following standards:
• API SPEC 12B: Bolted Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids;
• API SPEC 12D: Field Welded Tanks for Storage of Production
Liquids;
• API SPEC 12F: Shop Welded Tanks for Storage of Production
Liquids;
• API RP 12R1: Setting, Maintenance, Operation, and Repair of
Tanks in Production Service;
• API STD 650: Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage;
• API RP 651: Cathodic Protection of Aboveground Storage Tanks;
• API RP 652: Lining of Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank
Bottoms;
• API STD 653: Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and
Reconstruction.
Application of the principles discussed in this tutorial to ASTs
constructed to differing design criteria should be based on sound
engineering judgements. This tutorial does not attempt to address
additional rules and requirements that may be imposed by individual
jurisdictions or states.
