11、ephone +1 281/228-6200)Printed by SSPC: The Society for Protective CoatingsSSPC-PA 6/NACE No. 10SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings i_ForewordThis standard recommended practice specifies the procedures to design, apply, and inspectfiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) linings that are applied in
12、ternally to the bottom of carbon steelaboveground storage tanks (ASTs). FRP linings are used worldwide to prevent the corrosion anddeterioration of storage tank bottoms in petroleum, petrochemical, and other services. Experiencehas shown that the useful life of an FRP lining may exceed 25 years. API
13、(1)Standard 6531permits aminimum remaining thickness of the tank bottom plate to be 1.25 mm (0.050 in.) when lined with FRPcompared to a thickness of 2.5 mm (0.10 in.) if unlined or lined with a nonreinforced coating systemand not equipped with a tank bottom leak detection system. This standard will
14、 serve as a resource forfacility owners preparing specifications to achieve successful lining applications in ASTs in thepetroleum/petrochemical industry. The practices described are also useful during preparation ofspecifications for ASTs in other services.This joint standard was prepared by the SS

The owner sh
21、ould confirm that this minimumtank shell height is acceptable. Inspect cleanedsurfaces just prior to primer or coating application.1.1.2 If required, apply primer to the storage tank floorand the lower 60 cm (24 in.) of the tank shell.1.1.3 Apply caulk to the properly prepared tank floor,deep pits,
22、equipment supports, striker (bearing) plates,and chine angle, as required.1.1.4 Apply resin and glass reinforcement to the tankbottom and lower shell course. If a two-layer or doublelaminate system is applied, extend the first layer 45 cm(18 in.) up the tank shell and the second 30 cm (12 in.)up the
23、 tank shell. At least 15 cm (6 in.) of blasted andprimed shell wall shall be visible above the first coat oflaminate.1.1.5 Repair defects in the laminate prior to theapplication of the topcoat. (See Section 2.)1.1.6 Apply a topcoat to the laminate applied to thefloor and to the tank shell.1.1.7 Duri
24、ng all phases of the tank lining systemapplication, inspection shall be carried out by theapplicator and, when appropriate, by the ownersinspector. (See Section 11.)1.1.8 The lining applicator shall record all pertinentinformation concerning the entire tank bottom liningwork within the NACE Coating

This logbook shall be available at all timesto the owner or owners inspector.1.1.9 During all phases of the lining operation, thelining applicator shall comply with the ownersprescribed working procedures.1.1.10 Do not line storage tank nozzles or coatinternal tank e
26、quipment, piping, or heating coilsupports. Terminate the FRP lining at such supportswith a design that ensures leak and corrosionresistance of the applied lining.1.1.11 All applicable safety regulations must befollowed during surface preparation, application, andcuring of the lining system.1.2 For a
