COMMENTS DUE: October 3, 2011
This proposal is for review and comment only (no ballot at this time). Please note that comments on a
preliminary review document will not receive a response from the proposal author through CSDS.
//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
Instead, the proposal author will be asked to review the comments and adjust the proposals and/or
supporting rationale as the author determines to be appropriate. The preliminary review process is an
informal mechanism that provides authors with the opportunity to refine their proposals before they
advance to the next stage in UL’s standards development process.
In some cases, the author of the proposals may choose to discontinue them. In this case, the author
need not do anything after preliminary review has ended. Normally, the next step in the process is the
more formal STP ballot and stakeholder review process. Only comments posted during the STP ballot
and stakeholder review process will be provided with a response in CSDS.
For your convenience in review, proposed additions to existing requirements are shown underlined and
proposed deletions are shown lined-out.

1. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarification of production testing procedures for secondary
containment tanks
RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by Wayne Geyer, Steel Tank Institute
Paragraph 45 of UL 142 refers to paragraph 39.3 for production testing procedures of secondary
containment tanks. There is no need to hold the pressure in the primary tank of a double wall UL 142
tank for one hour during a production test as required in paragraph 39.3.2.
The primary tank is built and then tested with air and soap suds to detect leaks as required in
paragraph 39.3.1 (and 39.2.1). The secondary containment tank is then constructed. Pressure is applied
into the inner tank and held while the outer tank is pressurized and soap tested.
The interval of time to maintain pressure in the inner tank while the secondary tank is tested is
inconsequential during the production test. Paragraph 39.3.2 is proposed to be modified to reflect long
time industry practice and to differentiate production testing from performance testing.
Also, paragraph 39.3.2, as presently written, refers to paragraphs 39.2.1 and 39.2.2 for test methods.
Once the outer containment is fabricated onto the primary tank, the primary tank can no longer be soap
tested as described in 39.2. I believe that the intent is to make use of the pressures specified in 39.2.
Hence, I added the word ″applicable″ as not all methods that are described in 39.2 apply to secondary
tank construction testing.

PROPOSAL
39.3.2 Upon completion of the finished secondary containment tank, the primary tank is again to be
pressurized using the applicable method described in 39.2.1 – 39.2.2 and held for 1 hour during the
performance test to check for leakage. A continuous drop in pressure will be considered evidence of
leakage. With production testing, the pressure shall be held in the primary tank only for the duration
required to test the interstice using the method described in 39.3.3.
2. For Preliminary Review Only: Revising capacities and dimensions of vertical tanks
RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by Dana Schmidt, Steel Tank Institute
Paragraph 15.1.2 was revised in December 2007 with the intention to allow larger vertical tanks, but in
fact, it now restricts the diameter when before there was not a restriction. That is, the previous language
only required the capacity to not exceed 35 feet and the capacity to not exceed 50,000 gallons. This
proposal is to delete the maximum diameter and to change the maximum capacity to 60,000 gallons.
Note that the new horizontal tank capacity, also revised in December 2007, now is 75,000 gallons.
Further, a 14 feet diameter and 50 feet high tank has a capacity of 57,568 gallons. Proposed new
language is to delete the maximum diameter and to reinstitute the maximum allowable capacity
of vertical tanks, but increase from 50,000 gallons to 60,000 gallons.
PROPOSAL
//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
15.1 Capacities and dimensions
15.1.2 The shell height of a vertical tank shall not be more than 50 feet (15.24 m), and the diameter shall
not exceed 14 feet (4.27 m).
15.1.3 The capacity of a vertical tank shall not exceed 60,000 gallons (189 kL).
3. For Preliminary Review Only: Deletion of manhole requirement
Note from the STP Chair: The following topic is very similar to Topic 4, both propose deleting
paragraph 9.1.1. Per regulations, we can not have two proposals competing in ballot. Therefore only
one proposal for this paragraph will progress to ballot in the next stage. The determination will be based
upon comments received.
RATIONALE
The decision of whether a tank is to be provided with a manhole should be the decision of the
purchaser of the tank. It is not prudent to determine the need for a manhole solely based on the
dimensions of the tank. Further, the current requirement in paragraph 9.1.1 addresses the dimension of
horizontal cylindrical tanks only.

PROPOSAL
9 Manholes
9.1.1 Each tank which is larger than 76 inches (1.93 m) diameter shall incorporate a manhole.
4. For Preliminary Review Only: Manway construction clarifications
Note from the STP Chair: The following topic is very similar to Topic 3, both propose deleting
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
paragraph 9.1.1. Per regulations, we can not have two proposals competing in ballot. Therefore only
one proposal for this paragraph will progress to ballot in the next stage. The determination will be based
upon comments received.
RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by Roland Riegel, Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
UL has realized that previous UL 142 revisions made to manway requirements removed minimum
dimensions for rectangular tanks. Paragraph 9.1.1 requires manways for tanks greater than 76 in
diameter, but has no minimum criteria for width or capacity. Since the intent of this requirement is to
provide access to large tanks for inspection and maintenance, it should logically apply to all tank
shapes. We believe this inconsistency was unintended, so are proposing to clarify by reinstating the
5000 gal requirement in previous editions, and adding minimum dimensions for both cylindricals and
rectangular designs. Other proposed revisions reorganize the existing manway construction
requirements for different tank shapes in a more easily understood manner.
Note the proposal breaks up confusing requirements in paragraph 9.2. Manway construction options
were moved to the Figure 9.3 footnote and the Figure 9.2 construction exception were moved to new
paragraph 9.4 with simplified text.
PROPOSAL
9 Manholes
9.1 Except as noted in 9.3, a manhole for attachment to the top of a tank shall be as illustrated in Figure
9.1 or 9.3. A manhole attached to the shell at a location below the top of the tank or to the head of a tank
shall comply with Figure 9.2 or 9.4.
9.1.1 Each tank which is larger than 76 inches (1.93 m) diameter shall incorporate a manhole.
9.2 Except as noted in Figure 9.3, a manhole for attachment to the roof or top of a vertical cylindrical tank
shall be as illustrated in Figures 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3, and Table 9.1. The reinforcing plate and handles illustrated
in Figure 9.3 are optional. A manhole attached to the shell of a vertical tank or side of a horizontal tank
shall be as shown in Figure 9.2 or 9.4. A manhole of the type illustrated in Figure 9.2 shall comply with
Table 9.3 with regard to the minimum thickness of cover plate and bolting flange, and, if larger than 24
inches (0.6 mm) in size, shall also comply with Table 9.4 with regard to diameter of cover plate and bolt
circle and the size and number of bolts.

//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^

9.1.2 Each tank or compartment of a compartment tank with a rated capacity of 5000 gal or more, and
with primary dimensions larger than those specified below shall be provided with a manhole:
a) Cylindrical tanks larger than 76 inches (1.93 m) diameter; and
b) Rectangular tanks larger than 76 inches (1.93 m) width
9.1.3 Cylindrical tanks are permitted to have circular manways located on either the head or shell, but
shall be at least 16 inch diameter constructed only as follows:
a) Horizontal cylindrical side or shell manways complying with Figure 9.2 designs and Table 9.1
dimensions;
b) Horizontal cylindrical top or head manways shall complying with Figure 9.1 designs and
Table 9.1 dimensions;
c) Vertical cylindrical side or shell manways complying with Figure 9.2 designs and Table 9.3
dimensions, or Figure 9.4 designs and Table 9.4 dimensions; and
d) Vertical cylindrical top or roof manways complying with Figure 9.1 designs and Table 9.1
dimensions, or Figure 9.2 designs and Table 9.3 dimensions, or Figure 9.3 designs and Table
9.2 dimensions
9.1.4 Rectangular tanks shall be permitted to have circular or rectangular manways located on either the
top or side, but shall have a minimum dimension of at least 16 inches (0.4 m) and shall comply with the
rectangular tank performance tests.
9.1.5 Manways constructed per Figure 9.2 and Table 9.3 are permitted to exceed 24 inch (0.6 m)
diameters, provided they also comply with Table 9.4 for bolt details.
9.3 A cover for a manhole in the top of a tank may shall be of the self-closing type or may be secured
with bolts, except when provided with by long bolts so that the cover can lift under internal pressure for
emergency venting per 8.10. See 8.10.

5. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarification with respect to venting - paragraph 8.4
RATIONALE
Add phrase in paragraph 8.4 to reference 8.2. 8.4 addresses a vent opening that is to be used as both
emergency and normal venting. 8.4 includes a reference for sizing the emergency vents, but not normal
vents. The addition of this phrase will reference the sizing of the normal vents shown in paragraph
8.2.
PROPOSAL
8 Venting
8.4 A vent opening that provides for emergency venting shall have a capacity not less than that specified
//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
in Table 8.1. A vent opening that provides for both emergency and normal vents shall also have a capacity
not less than specified in Table 8.1, in addition to the requirements of paragraph 8.2. Emergency vents
are not prohibited from use for normal venting of the primary tanks if the tanks are marked as specified
in 48.1.1(e).
6. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarification of welding of hot well - paragraph 37.1
RATIONALE
Recommendation that the connection of a hot well be welded on the inside and outside of a tank where
the connection pierces the shell for safety.
PROPOSAL
37 Heating Coils and Hot Wells
37.1 A heating coil or hot well that is provided as part of a tank assembly and handles a fluid other than
that stored in the tank, such as steam or hot water, shall have no joints in that portion located within the
tank unless such joints are continuously welded or brazed. The coil or hot well connection shall exit from
the tank above the liquid level, unless made of steel having a wall thickness not less than specified for
that portion of the tank shell through which the connection exists. A continuous full fillet weld shall be
made on the inside and outside of the tank where a connection pierces the tank or a manhole cover.
7. For Preliminary Review Only: Deletion of markings “On Supports”, “Open Top” or “Closed Top”
for tanks on supports and diked tanks
RATIONALE
The requirement for Markings that tanks on supports include the text “On Supports” and that diked
tanks be marked “Open Top” or “Closed Top” are not necessary because it is obvious when you
observe a tank.

--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

PROPOSAL
48 Marking Elements
48.1 All tanks
48.1.1 Each tank shall be marked with:
a) The manufacturer’s name, trade name, or trademark or other descriptive marking which
identifies the organization responsible for the product.
b) One of the following statements, as applicable:
1) “This Tank Requires Emergency Relief Venting. Capacity Not Less Than ____ CFH
based on installation within one foot of the tank top,” with the appropriate value derived
from Table 8.1 inserted; or
2) For tanks provided with a manhole of the long bolt type in accordance with the
requirements in 8.10, the manhole cover shall be marked: “This Manhole Is Provided
With Long Bolts To Permit Emergency Relief Venting. Do Not Replace With Shorter
Bolts.”
c) The statement: “ This Tank is Intended for Stationary Installation Only.”
d) If a manufacturer produces tanks at more than one factory, each tank shall have a distinctive

//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
the statements:
a) ″Open Top Diked″ or ″Closed Top Diked″. The mark shall be adjacent to the conformity
mark.
b) The capacity of the diked area in U.S. gallons. The capacity may also be expressed in terms
of percent containment of the primary tank.
c) (For closed top diked tanks only where the cover is used for emergency venting) “Cover
Used For Emergency Venting. Do Not Secure Cover.”
8. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarification of performance tests and manufacturing tests
RATIONALE

--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Some AHJ’s as well as tank purchasers are confused by the reference to Sections 39 and 43 in Section
45 and 46. The intent of UL 142 has been misinterpreted because some readers believe that all of the
Production Texts are applicable to Manufacturing tests when they return to Sections 39 and 43 after
reading the references in Sections 45 and 46.
PROPOSAL
45 Primary and Secondary Containment Tanks
45.1 Each primary and secondary containment tank, before painting, shall be tested by the manufacturer
and determined to be tight against leakage using the method of the Tank Leakage Test, Section 39
described in paragraphs 39.1, 39.2, and 39.3.
46 Diked Tanks
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
46.1 Each primary or secondary containment tank, before painting, shall be tested by the manufacturer
and determined to be tight against leakage using the method of the Tank Leakage Test, Section 39
described in paragraphs 39.1, 39.2, and 39.3.
46.2 Each dike shell is to be inspected before painting for welding defects with a dye penetrant,
magnet-flux, or other acceptable non-destructive testing method. If all seams are double welded (inside
and outside), visual inspection may be used. The Hydrostatic Load Test, Section 43 described in 43.1,
may also be used to determine welding defects.
9. For Preliminary Review Only: New requirements for sumps
RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by Lorri Grainawi, Steel Tank Institute
There is nothing in the UL 142 standard that discusses sumps inside tanks, yet they are occasionally
used. This proposal is to add language describing the requirements for a sump.
PROPOSAL
38 Sumps
38.2 Sumps no larger than 18 inches (45.7 cm) in diameter nor more than 6 inches (15.2 cm) in depth
shall be permitted in primary and/or secondary tanks along the bottom center line.
38.3 All welds are to be full seal welds.
10. For Preliminary Review Only: Prohibiting interstitial openings other than e-venting and
monitoring
RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by Roland Riegel, Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
UL has received many requests to identify acceptable and/or unacceptable types of interstitial openings
from UL 142 designers, producers, users and AHJs. Current UL 142 construction requirements cover
normal and emergency venting in Section 8, and fill, drain and gauge openings in Section 10
respectively. However, clarification is needed to prohibit openings other than e-venting and monitoring in
//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
the interstitial space from a function and safety perspective. Interstitial spaces must have e-venting to
relieve excessive pressures from external fire exposure, and also must have a monitor opening to
determine leakage. Other openings in the interstice would not be functionally needed, increase the risk
of improper filling and introduce the opportunity for water entry or uses the interstitial was not intended
for. In addition, the current requirements for other tank openings do not provide enough type, size,
location and function details. The proposed revisions would address these issues.
PROPOSAL
10 Fill, Drain, and Gauge Non-Vent Openings
10.1 In addition to the mandatory normal and emergency vent openings each tank and each compartment
of a multicompartment tank shall be provided with fittings to accommodate filling, inventory control and
product withdrawal. for the primary tank in Section 8, the following tank openings with fittings welded to
the tank shell, manway cover or flange cap are required:
a) Fill openings shall be provided in each primary tank and each primary compartment of a
multicompartment tank. Fill openings shall be above the normal liquid level and not exceed the
normal vent opening size.
b) Gauge openings shall be provided in each primary tank and each primary compartment of a
multicompartment tank. Gauge openings shall above the normal liquid level and not exceed a
nominal 2 inch size.
c) Withdraw openings shall be provided in each primary tank and each primary compartment of
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
a multicompartment tank. Withdraw openings if below normal liquid level shall be provided with
a plug.
10.2 In addition to the mandatory emergency vent openings for the secondary tank in Section 8, the
following tank openings with fittings welded to the tank shell, manway cover or flange cap are required:
a) Monitor openings shall be provided for each interstitial space and shall not exceed a nominal
2 inch size.
b) Other openings, except e-vent and monitor types, shall be prohibited into the interstitial
space.
10.3 In addition to the required openings described in 10.1 and 10.2, the following optional tank openings
with fittings welded to the tank shell, manway cover or flange cap are permitted:
a) Drain or other minor functional openings to the primary tank provided they do not exceed a
nominal 2 inch size.
b) Openings below the normal liquid level shall be provided with a plug or cap.
11. For Preliminary Review Only: Revise figure 40.1 to show rectangular tank
RATIONALE

//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#

Paragraph 26.1.2 “RECTANGULAR CONSTRUCTIONS, Performance test, Hydrostatic strength test”

refers to Section 40 which includes this diagram. This tank drawing shows a cylindrical tank, but the test
illustrated applies only to rectangular tanks. The drawing has led to some confusion of users of the
standard who think that it applies to production testing.

13. For Preliminary Review Only: Table 13.4 title correction
RATIONALE
UL has realized there is a conflict between the type of tank heads covered by paragraph 13.4.4, and
Table 13.4 which it references. Paragraph 13.4.4 covers unflanged flat bulkheads of a compartment
tanks, and references Table 13.4, which is titled “Bracing for Unflanged Flat Heads and Bulkheads”. Flat
heads are not covered by this table and is also consistent with footnote 1 in Figure 13.1, so believe
the title should be corrected for clarification. We have confirmed the error and solution with Task Group
members that developed previous revisions to this Section.

14. For Preliminary Review Only: Revision to manhole requirement for tanks to be based on
capacity instead of diameter
RATIONALE
The December 2007 revised edition of UL 142 added a requirement for tanks larger than 76 inches in
diameter to incorporate a manhole. This requirement is workable for only horizontal tanks, but not
workable for vertical and rectangular tanks. This proposal is therefore to delete the diameter
requirement and instead make the requirement based on capacity.
PROPOSAL
9.1.1 Each tank which is larger than 76 inches (1.93 m) diameter and each compartment of a
compartment tank that is over 5000 gallons (19 kL) capacity shall incorporate a manhole.
15. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarification on requirements for emergency venting of
secondary containment on vertical tank
RATIONALE
Proposal submitted by Lorri Grainawi, Steel Tank Institute
Provide clarification on requirements for emergency venting of secondary containment on vertical tank.
PROPOSAL
8.1.1 Each primary containment tank including each compartment of a compartment tank shall have
provisions for both normal venting and emergency venting. The tank penetration openings for these vents
//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
shall be located on the top of the tank. Horizontal cylindrical tanks shall center these vents along the top
longitudinal axis. See drawing 8.1 for one allowable option.

16. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarifications on requirements for large tank venting
RATIONALE
UL has received several manufacturer, installer and AHJ questions related to calculating the wetted
surface area of different tank shapes and capacities, and use of supports not covered by the
certification. There were also questions related to expanding normal & emergency vent tables to support
increased tank sizes. As currently written, they are:
1. No clear WSA requirements for dished head tanks. Although Par 8.5 only implies the requirements
are for “flat head” tanks, we believe 75 percent of total exposed area is also applicable for dished and
hemispherical head tanks.
2. No assurances flat bottom tanks are not “exposed” when installed, and inconsistencies between
support exceptions for vertical and rectangular tanks. Since the risks of installing any tank on supports
that are not attached to the tank per Part IV are increasing (due to corrosion and inspection concerns),
we believe including bottoms in WSA calculations for all shapes is more effective than a new warning
marking.
3. No vent values Tables in Sec 8 were adjusted for larger tanks added in 2007. When Table 13.1 was
revised to increase diameters (12’ to 13’), heights (35’ to 50’) and capacities (50k gal to 75k gal), the
practical normal and emergency venting values may exceed the current table limits.
Table 8.1 for emergency venting - The minimum CFH value and nominal pipe size corresponding to
WSA were based on the previous size limits. Therefore, we are proposing to extend Table 8.1 based on
extrapolation to support the increased sizes limits for continued safety.
Table 8.2 for normal venting – The minimum nominal pipe size corresponding to capacity were based
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
on the previous size limits. Therefore, we are proposing to extend Table 8.2 based on extrapolation
to support the increased size limits for continued safety.

17. For Preliminary Review Only: New section for requirements for minor accessories
RATIONALE
UL, in an effort to improve compliance with internal certification regulations to identify requirements for
consistent application, is proposing to address “minor accessories” that are currently attached to tanks.
The most common minor accessories we believe should be covered by the Standard and subject to
basic construction requirements include:
1. Mounting Brackets – Small steel shelves or plates connected to the exterior tank shell (directly
welded or indirectly bolted to welded tabs) that are intended to support equipment such as pumps,
valves, gauges, monitors or other common tank devices typically installed in the field. Poorly
constructed and attached mounting brackets could result in tank and equipment damage, or
malfunctions. Larger brackets could be mistaken as “working surfaces” and result in personal injury.
2. Spill Containers – Small steel rings or boxes with rain covers connected to tank tops around
openings to contain minor spills during fill operations. Spill containers are typically required by
environmental and/or fire regulations, should meet minimum standards for compliance.
PROPOSAL
38A Minor Tank Accessories
38A.1 If provided, minor accessories intended for factory assembly or field installation to the tank shall
comply with the requirements in 38A.2 and 38A.3.
38A.2 Mounting brackets for small equipment shall not exceed 4.0 ft2 (single side projected area), and
shall be constructed of at least 0.093 inch thick steel. Mounting brackets greater than 4.0 ft2 shall comply
with the Static Load Test in paragraph 36.3. The brackets and supporting structure shall be welded to the
tank, or provided with bolted connections that are welded to the tank.

//^:^^#^~^^""~:@":^*^~$~"#:*~:^""*$:#^~:^^~:^"$:#:^:"\\
38A.3 Spill containers shall surround tank top fill openings, have a liquid capacity of at least 5.0 gallons,
be provided with covers, and shall be constructed of at least 0.093 inch thick steel. Covers shall be
designed to provide access without loss risk, such as a hinge or connecting strap, and shall resist entry
of rain without being vapor tight.
18. For Preliminary Review Only: Correction for missing requirements for shell manholes

20. For Preliminary Review Only: Clarification of requirements for large vertical tank construction
RATIONALE
UL has received several manufacturer questions related to conflicting and missing construction details
for vertical tanks, and is proposing to make the following conservative clarifications until the full
technical committee can agree on a technically based solution:
1. Paragraph 15.1.2 was revised in 2007 to permit increased heights of vertical tanks from 35 feet to 50
feet, however, UL believes the proposal was not fully developed since: a) Table 9.3 currently limits
side manways on vertical tanks to 35 feet b) Table 15.1 thickness/height combinations and footnotes b
and c were not adjusted c) Table 23.1 thickness/height combinations and footnote b was not adjusted.
As increasing vertical height significantly increases hydrostatic pressure (15.16 psi @ 35’ vs 21.65
psi @ 50’) and subsequent shell stress, UL believes both tables footnotes needed to increase the
current 25 foot height and/or thickness requirements. However, until the original advocates of maximum
50 foot verticals can provide technically based adjustments to these values, UL is proposing
conservatively safe revisions by returning to the previous 35 foot vertical tank height limit.
2. UL believes the increased thicknesses for vertical tanks above 25 feet in the respective Table 15.1
and Table 23.1 footnotes applies to both english and metric values. As currently written, the footnote
technically applies to only the metric values and think this is an editorial formatting error made between
the 6th and 7th editions. If incorrectly interpreted, unsafe reduced thicknesses could be used with
dangerous consequences.
3. UL believes the reduced thickness for vertical tanks above 25 feet in the respective Table 15.1 and
Table 23.1 footnotes should be consistent for both primary and secondary shells. Since both shells
are structurally independent but must have adequate strength to resist identical height related
hydrostatic loading, we do not think reduced secondary thicknesses are technically justified.
4. UL believes both carbon and stainless are acceptable steel types for vertical tank constructions,
however, only carbon steel is identified in Table 23.1. Therefore, we are proposing to add stainless to
the table title. Note although we believe a reduced thickness for stainless is appropriate based on safety
factors associated with carbon corrosion potential, and both primary and secondary shell thicknesses
for vertical tanks should be consistent (see item 3 above), we are not sure if the stainless values from
Table 15.1 have a technical basis.
PROPOSAL
15.1.2 The shell height of a vertical tank shall not be more than 50 feet ( 15.24 m) 35 feet ( 10.67 m), and
the diameter shall not exceed 14 feet (4.27 m).
