1 Scope<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
1.1 These requirements cover steel primary, secondary and diked type atmospheric storage tanks intended for the storage of noncorrosive, stable flammable and combustible liquids with a specific gravity (spg) not exceeding 1.0 in aboveground applications, except for tanks storing liquids with a specific gravity that exceeds 1.0, covered in Section 12.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.2 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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.3 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 Code for 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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.4 The tanks covered by these requirements are fabricated, inspected and tested for leakage before shipment from the factory as completely assembled vessels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.5 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.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.6 These requirements do not cover special evaluations for resistance to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, or other natural disasters; or resistance to vehicle impact.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n
1.7 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.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
