Dimensions and capacities of horizontal underground and above-ground storage tanks with dished and flanged ends 4 Foreword ‘This British Standard, which was fist published in 1955 under the joint authority of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Committee and the Petroleurs Equipment Industry Standards Committee, Is intended to provide for tanks of adequate safety and reasonable economy, in a range of sizes to suit the requirements of user industries forthe static storage of petroleum and other chemical products vented to atmosphere. Tanks intended for the storage of liquids corrosive to mild stel should be suitably protected. {In this revision, dimensions are based on chosen ‘metcic capacities. Dished and flanged ends of only four sizes ae used, which are convenient for the ‘manufacture of compartmented tanks; these are based ‘on metric outside diameters. Imperial dimensions for dished ends are retained for current production Purposes, but as and when existing tooling requires renewal it should be replaced ta suit the metric sizes specified in this standard Page 1B, Dimensions and capacities of horizontal ‘underground and above-ground storage tanks utilizing existing imperial dished and flanged ends s 2A, Dished and flanged end configuration (metric) 6 2B.
