These requirements cover steel primary@ secondary and diked type atmospheric storage tanks intended for noncorrosive@ stable flammable and combustible liquids that have a specific gravity not exceeding 1.0 in aboveground applications. Each tank type may be fabricated in a combination of various shapes (cylindrical@ rectangular or obround) and orientations (horizontal@ vertical) with or without multiple compartments@ as covered in this Standard. These tanks are intended for installation and use in accordance with the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code@ NFPA 30; the Standard for Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment@ NFPA 31; the Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages@ NFPA 30A; the Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines@ NFPA 37; the Uniform Fire Code@ NFPA 1; and the International Fire Code published by the International Code Council. The tanks covered by these requirements are fabricated@ inspected and tested for leakage before shipment from the factory as completely assembled vessels. These requirements do not apply to tanks covered by the Specification for Field-Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids@ API 12D; and the Specification for Shop-Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids@ API 12F. These requirements do not cover special evaluations for resistance to hurricanes@ tornadoes@ earthquakes@ floods@ or other natural disasters; or resistance to vehicle impact. These requirements do not cover portable tanks intended for transporting flammable or combustible liquids (such as shipping containers)@ or mobile use applications (such as mounted on a trailer). These types of products are covered by separate UN@ DOT@ or equipment product standards.
