20 A Underground FRP Tank (UL 1316)

A tank shall be provided with one or more lugs for lifting that are
21 A1
attached to the tank or can be attached to a fitting on the tank.
UL Para. 3.1

A fitting for pipe connection shall be a standard threaded pipe

coupling (ANSI/ASME B36.10), a threaded flange, a standard half
22 A2
pipe nipple, or a bolted and gasketed flanged connection. The
UL Para. 4.1
connection shall be bonded directly to the tank.

All openings in a tank shall be located in the top. They shall be

located on the longitudinal centerline of the top when the tank is
cylindrical. When the tank is spherical, the openings shall be located
on the vertical centerline of the tank. Exception:
23 A3 When the application of a tank is such that openings in the top for pipe connection are UL Para. 4.2
required to be gruoped, the openings shall be located not more than 12 inches (305)
from the longitudinal centerline of the top of a cylindrical tank or the vertical centerline
of a spherical tank. This exception applies when the upper end of each pipe coupling
or other fitting for pipe connection terminates above the top of the shell.

24 B Aboveground FRP Tank (API SPEC 12P)

Vertical flat bottom tanks should be installed on a base providing

continuous support for both the tank bottom and knuckle radius, and API Spec 12P
25 B1
having sufficient strength to support the weight of the tank full of Annex A.1
liquid with negligible deflection.

The following materials are recommended for tank grades: sand or

API Spec 12P
26 B2 material of less than 1/8 inch diameter, smooth surfaced concrete, or
Annex A.1
a concrete grout.

Retaining rings are highly recommended for tank pads to help

API Spec 12P
27 B3 prevent wind and water erosion around the base of the tank.
Annex A.1
(API spec 12P Para A.1)

Use of rock riprap, large diameter gravel or other coarse material

API Spec 12P
28 B4 around the base of the tank after installation will prevent tank grade
Annex A.1
erosion. (API spec 12P Para A.1)

Once the tank is installed on the grade, a final inspection is done to

API Spec 12P
29 B5 ensure no fractures in the base, knuckle, side wall or connections,
Annex A.2
either in the interior or exterior of the tank.

FRP tanks should be remotely located from any obvious ignition

source and or so located that any spill resulting from the failure of API Spec 12P
30 B6
these materials could not unduly expose persons, buildings, or Annex A.3
structures.

REMARKS:
This checklist is for UL 1316 and API SPEC 12P Tanks. The current revision of 32-SAMSS-030 (13 December
2011) specifically refers to metallic tanks only. Tank UL 1316 refers to FRP tanks intended for underground
storage and API Spec 12P refers to FRP tanks intended for above ground and atmosperic pressure service.
32 Thus, the title should be Inspection of FRP Tank Installation. The inspection parameters were then taken
directly from the Specifications for UL 1316 and API Spec 12P.
