Types of storage tanks

Storage tanks are used to store fluids such as crude oil, intermediate and refined
products, gas, chemicals, waste products, water, and water/product mixtures.
Important factors such as the volatility of the stored fluid and the desired storage
pressure result in tanks being built of various types, sizes, and materials of
construction. In this document, only atmospheric and low pressure storage tanks
are considered.
Guidelines for inspection of tanks operating at pressures greater than 15 lbf/in. 2
(103 kPa) gauge are covered in API RP 572.

1. Storage Tanks with lining and/ or Cathodic Protection.
