Data Analysis and Processing Guide

The document provides inspection guidelines for above ground storage tanks. It outlines checks to perform on the tank foundation, shell plates, and roof structure. Tolerances are given for parameters like peaking, banding, and plumbness of erected shell plates. Weld testing methods like diesel soak and vacuum box tests are described. Guidelines are provided for determining minimum plate thicknesses based on corrosion rates and repair/replacement criteria.
