In such cases, the construction of the tank will determine if additional venti g capacity must be provided.Atmospheric Tank — A storage tank that has been designed to operate at pressures from atmospheric through a gauge pressure of 1.0 psi (6.9 kPa) (i.e., 760 mm Hg through 812 mm Hg) mea
Ambient temperature tanks (nonheated) shall have a design temperature of 100 °F. It is cautioned that exothermic reactions occurring inside unheated storage tanks can produce temperatures exceeding 100 °F. SC.1.3 This annex states only the requirements that differ from the basic rules in this standard.
SC.1.2 This annex applies only to tanks in nonrefrigerated services with a maximum design temperature not exceeding that specified in 1.2.2 and a minimum design metal temperature limited to –40 °F. For the purposes of this annex, the design temperature shall be the maximum design temperature as specified by the purchaser.
