Only shop-fabricated, vertical, cylindrica

45、l tanks are covered. Tanks covered by this specification are intended for above ground and atmospheric pressure service. Unsupported cone bottom tanks are outside the scope of this specification.This specification is designed to provide the petroleum industry with various standard sizes of FRP tanks

46、. Because of the versatility of FRP tanks, the user shall be responsible for determining the suitability of FRP tanks for the intended service.The consequences of exposing the FRP tank to high temperatures created by exposure fires should be considered. This material loses strength as the temperatur

47、e increases. FRP tanks should be suitably protected against fire exposure or so located that any spills resulting from the failure of these materials could not unduly expose persons, buildings, structures or other equipment to the above.1.2 ComplianceThe manufacturer is responsible for complying wit

48、h all of the provisions of this specification. 2 ReferencesASTM A153 1, Standard Specification for Zinc Coating (Hot-Dip) on Iron and Steel HardwareASTM B454, Specification for Mechanically Deposited Coatings/Cadmium/Zinc on Ferrous MetalsASTM C581, Standard Practice for Determining Chemical Resista
