PIP VEDTA003

This Practice provides guidance to Purchasers (owners, engineering contractors, and other designated agents) and Manufacturers (fabricators and erectors) for the preparation and completion of the Atmospheric Storage Tank Data Sheet (hereafter referred to as the Data Sheet). The Data Sheet shall be prepared in conjunction with PIP VESTA002 such that comprehensive proposals (bids) may be made and subsequent purchase orders may be placed for the fabrication and erection of tanks per API Standard 650 (hereafter referred to as API 650).

This Practice explains information to be placed on the Data Sheet primarily by Purchasers for use by Manufacturers. However, some of the instructions apply to either the Purchaser or the Manufacturer, depending on which party assumes certain responsibilities.
