API PUBL 937 For Petroleum Refining Standards
Foreword American Petroleum Institute (API) provides standards for the design, construction and inspection of storage tanks. One of the family of design standards, API 650--Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage--is the target of the research addressed by this Bulletin. API 650 includes, among other important design provisions, criteria governing the design of frangible roof joints for welded steel, above-ground, cylindrical, storage ...

API RP 651 For Petroleum Refining Standards
The purpose of this recommended practice is to present procedures and practices for achieving effective corrosion control on aboveground storage tank bottoms through the use of cathodic protection. It contains provisions for the application of cathodic protection to existing and new storage tanks. Corrosion control methods based on chemical control of the environment or the use of protective coatings are not covered in detail. When ...

API RP 652 For Petroleum Refining Standards
This recommended practice 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 ...

API SPEC 12P Standard for Exploration & Production
General This specification covers material, design, fabrication, and testing requirements for fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks. Only shop-fabricated, vertical, cylindrical tanks are covered. Tanks covered by this specification are intended for above ground and atmospheric pressure service. Unsupported cone bottom tanks are outside the scope of this specification. This specification is designed ...

API STD 653 For Petroleum Refining Standards
Introduction 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. The scope is limited to the tank foundation, bottom, shell, structure, roof, attached appurtenances, and nozzles ...
