PIP VEETA001

This Practice provides guidelines for the selection and specification of aboveground storage tanks.

This Practice describes guidelines for storage of liquid products in tanks at design pressures from atmospheric to 15 psig (103 kPa). This Practice provides guidance for avoiding recurring problems and outlines preferred practices where appropriate. Although this Practice is intended primarily for carbon steel tanks, most of the guidelines are applicable regardless of the material of construction.

Requirements for specifying and supplying API 650 tanks are defined in PIP VESTA002.
