45、roductionThis specification is under the jurisdiction of the API Subcommittee on Aboveground Storage Tanks.This specification is based on the accumulated knowledge and experience of purchasers and manufacturers of field-welded steel storage tanks of various sizes and capacities for internal pressure

46、s approaching atmospheric. This publication provides a purchase specification to facilitate the manufacture and procurement of storage tanks for production service, such as storage of crude oil, condensate, hydrocarbon products, and nonpotable water. If tanks are purchased in accordance with this sp

47、ecification, the purchaser is expected to specify certain basic requirements.This specification shall become effective on the date printed on the cover.viiSpecification for Field Welded Tanks for Storage of Production Liquids 1 Scope 1.1 General This specification covers material, design, fabricatio

48、n, and testing requirements for vertical, cylindrical, aboveground, closed top, welded steel storage tanks in various standard sizes and capacities for internal pressures of approximately atmospheric, not to exceed those listed in Table 5.1, Column 2. This specification provides the oil production i

49、ndustry with tanks of adequate safety and reasonable economy for use in the storage of crude petroleum and other liquids commonly handled and stored by the production segment of the industry. This specification is for the convenience of purchasers and manufacturers in ordering and fabricating tanks. 1.2 Compliance The manufacturer is responsible for complying with all provisions of this specification. The purchaser may make any investigation necessary to be satisfied that the manufacturer is in compliance and may reject any material that does not comply with this specification. It is urg
