What is api12f?

API Standard 12F provides design criteria, material options, fabrication methods and testing requirements for shop fabricated tanks and Hawkeye is ready to help you meet these new criteria. These above ground storage tanks generally store crude petroleum or other production liquids.

What are API 650 tanks?

API 650, Welded Tanks for Oil Storage, is a standard developed and published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that establishes minimum requirements for the design, fabrication, erection, and inspection of welded storage tanks.

What is a UL 142 tank?

UL-142 tanks are steel atmospheric tanks intended for aboveground storage of non-corrosive, stable, flammable, and combustible liquids. Maximum allowable working pressure is 0.5 psig as measured from top of tank.

What does API stand for on a tanker?

The American Petroleum Institute (API) sets the standards that regulate oil tank storage. These standards vary depending on where the tank is located, what the tank holds and the size of the tank. API tanks must be inspected regularly to make sure they’re safe and performing efficiently.

What is the difference between UL 142 and API 650?

Another eligible certification for oil and gas tanks is the F921, by the Steel Tank Institute. Whereas API 650 and AWWA D100 apply to both shop-built and field-erected tanks, UL 142 only governs shop-built tanks. Tanks built in accordance with this standard receive a UL Listing Mark permanently stamped to the tank.

What is the difference between UL 142 and UL-2085?

There are a few key differences between UL-142 and UL-2085. At the core, UL-2085 rated tanks offer more protection. This protection may include double-walled tank designs and/or stronger carbon steel materials. Some UL-2085 tanks also feature inside containment walls or insulation from the outside walls.
