Floating roof tanks, with external metal domed roofs extending over the entire roof area (i.e. internal floating roof tanks or tanks fitted with geodesic domes), may be considered as fixed
Composite or fiberglass-coated tanks. This method does not apply to piping and other system components. Tanks do not need further corrosion protection if they meet certain standards and
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
Current requirements for below-grade storage found in NFPA codes and CGA standards provide very limited safety requirements and do not address many areas including equipment access,
The goal of the Underground Piping and Tanks Integrity Initiative is to provide reasonable assurance of structural and leakage integrity of in-scope underground piping and tanks with
1.2.22 Annex Q covers specific requirements for the materials, design, and fabrication of tanks to be used for the storage of liquefied gases such as ethane, ethylene, and methane.
