(Revision of ANSI/AWWA D100-05)
Welded Carbon Steel Tanks
for Water Storage
SECTION 1: GENERAL
Sec. 1.1 Scope
Te purpose of this standard is to provide minimum requirements for the
design, construction, inspection, and testing of new welded carbon steel tanks for
the storage of water at atmospheric pressure.
1.1.1 Tank roofs. All tanks storing potable water shall have roofs. Tanks
storing nonpotable water may be constructed without roofs.
1.1.2 Items not covered. Tis standard does not cover all details of design
and construction because of the large variety of sizes and shapes of tanks. Details
that are not addressed shall be designed and constructed to be adequate and as safe
as those that would otherwise be provided under this standard. Tis standard does
not cover concretesteel composite tank construction.* With the exception of alu-
minum dome roofs, this standard does not cover tanks constructed with materials
other than carbon steel. Tis standard does not cover painting and disinfecting of
tanks (see ANSI/AWWA D102, Coating Steel Water-Storage Tanks, and ANSI/
AWWA C652, Disinfection of Water-Storage Facilities).
1.1.3 Design method. With the exception of reinforced concrete founda-
tions, this standard is based on the allowable-stress design method.

Sec. 1.2 Defnitions
Te following defnitions shall apply in this standard:
1. Capacity: Te net volume, in gallons (liters), that may be removed from
a tank flled to top capacity level (TCL) and emptied to the bottom capacity level
(BCL).
2. Constructor: Te party that furnishes the work and materials for place-
ment and installation.
3. Elevated tank: A container or storage tank supported on a tower.
4. Head range: Te vertical distance between the TCL and BCL.
5. Potable water: Water that is safe and satisfactory for drinking and
cooking.
6. Purchaser: Te person, company, or organization that purchases any
materials or work to be performed.
7. Reservoir: A ground-supported, fat-bottom, cylindrical tank having a
shell height equal to or smaller than its diameter.
8. Standpipe: A ground-supported, fat-bottom, cylindrical tank having a
shell height greater than its diameter.
9. Tank: An elevated tank, a standpipe, or a reservoir.
10. Water levels: Te following water levels are used in this standard:
10.1 Bottom capacity level (BCL): Te water level above which the speci-
fed capacity is provided. In a ground-supported tank (reservoir or standpipe), the
BCL shall be the water level in the tank shell when the tank is emptied through the
specifed discharge fttings, unless otherwise specifed.
10.2 Maximum operating level (MOL): Te specifed maximum water
level under normal operating conditions. Te MOL shall be taken as the TCL,
unless otherwise specifed.
10.3 Top capacity level (TCL): Te water level defned by the lip of the
overfow.
Sec. 1.3 Drawings to Be Provided
Construction drawings for the foundation, tank, and accessories shall be
provided. Where foundation and tank design are performed by separate parties,
each party shall provide construction drawings. If anchorage is required, anchor-
age details, including required embedment, local reinforcement, and minimum
required concrete strength, shall be provided as part of the tank design.
Details of all welded joints shall be provided when specifed. Standard weld
symbols as listed in ANSI/AWS A2.4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing,
