The Standard for Repair of Shop-fabricated Aboveground Tanks for Storage of Flammable and Combustible Liquids (SP031) covers repair and modification of atmospheric-type shop-fabricated carbon and stainless steel tanks (ASTs). It applies to ASTs storing stable, flammable and combustible liquids with a specific gravity not greater than 1.0, operating at atmospheric pressure and temperatures between ambient temperature and 200°F.
Topics include:
- Safety Considerations
- Personnel Qualifications
- Materials and Welding
- Modifications
- Repairs
- Testing and Inspection Requirements
This standard covers repair and/or modification of ASTs built to a nationally recognized standard for aboveground storage tanks. It may be used for the repair and modification of other ASTs at the discretion of the tank owner. The applicable edition of the construction standard to which the tank was built will be consulted for minimum construction requirements not otherwise covered in this standard.
