American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
May 1, 2005
Scope:
This document provides useful information and recommended practices
for the maintenance and
inspection of atmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks. While some
of these guidelines may apply
to other types of tanks, these practices are intended primarily for
existing tanks that were
constructed to API Spec 12A or API Spec 12C, and API Std 620 or API
Std 650. This recommended
practice includes:
a. Descriptions of the various types of storage tanks.
b. Construction standards.
c. Maintenance practices.
d. Reasons for inspection.
e. Causes of deterioration.
f. Frequency of inspection.
g. Methods of inspection.
h. Inspection of repairs.
i. Preparation of records and reports.
j. Safe and efficient operations.
k. Leak prevention methods.
This recommended practice is intended to supplement API Std 653, which
provides minimum
requirements for maintaining the integrity of storage tanks after they
have been placed in service.
