API ABOVEGROUNDSTORAGE-2000

Annotation of standard text API ABOVEGROUNDSTORAGE-2000 :

API ABOVE GROUND STORAGE, 2000 - COLLECTION OF 4 API PUBLICATIONS THAT INCLUDES RECOMMENDED PRACTICES AND STANDARDS FOR ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANKS

API STD 653: TANK INSPECTION, REPAIR, ALTERATION, AND RECONSTRUCTION
This standard covers steel storage tanks built to API 650 and its predecessor API 12C. It provides minimum requirements for maintaining the integrity of such tanks after they have been placed in service and addresses inspection, repair, alteration, relocation, and reconstruction.

API RP 651: CATHODIC PROTECTION OF ABOVEGROUND PETROLEUM STORAGE TANKS
The purpose of this recommended practice (RP) is to present procedures and practices for achieving effective corrosion control on aboveground storage tank bottoms through the use of cathodic protection. This RP contains provisions for the application of cathodic protection to existing and new aboveground storage tanks. Corrosion control methods based on chemical control of the environment or the use of protective coatings are not covered in detail.

API RP 652: LININGS OF ABOVEGROUND PETROLEUM STORAGE TANK BOTTOMS
This recommended practice (RP) 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.

API STD 650: WELDED TANKS FOR OIL STORAGE
This standard establishes minimum requirements for material, design, fabrication, erection, and inspection for vertical, cylindrical, aboveground, closed- and open-top, welded storage tanks in various sizes and capacities for internal pressures approximating atmospheric pressure (internal pressures not exceeding the weight of the roof plates), but a higher internal pressure is permitted when additional requirements are met (see 1.1.13). This standard applies only to tanks whose entire bottom is uniformly supported and to tanks in non-refrigerated service that have a maximum design temperature of 93 °C (200 °F) or less.
