NOTES
1 The thickness specified above are the minimum requirement
only (including internal and external corrosion
allowance ), pertaining
to yield value of steel as 250 MPa.
2 The actual thickness
required shall be checked taking into the consideration
soil pressure, fluid pressure
and external loading.
3 End plates in co1 8 of the flat ends shall be provided with stiffners given in co1 9 and agreed as per Fig. 3E.
4 End plates of the flat ends shall preferably
be without joints.
Where the end plate is made by welding of
two or more plates, the weld joint shall be made horizontal.
Full width of plate( s ) should be utilized at
the bottom.
10 CORROSION
PROTECTION
Tanks to be installed
underground
shall be
suitably protected against corrosion caused by
the soil strata and/or
sub-soiI water. The
purchaser shall specify type of such protection
that he considers desirable.
Suggested good
practices
for asphalt doping are given in
Annex C.
12 APPURTENANCES
AND MOUNTINGS
12.1 General
12.1.1 Appurtenances
or mountings installed
on tanks shall conform to this code. Alternative
designs of appurtenances which provide equivalent strength, tightness and utility are permissible, if so agreed to by the purchaser.
11 TANK ANCHORAGE
11.1 Tank to be installed underground
shall be
anchored to resist the buoyancy force induced
by high water tables that may occur seasonally.
The anchorage
could be either provided by
means of steel flat of round bars having adequate cross section to resist the uplift at a
stress level of 140 MPa maximum.
IS 10987 : 1992
12.53
Vent Connection
12.2 Manhole
12.2.1 Each tank shall have a minimum of one
manhole
of not
less than 500 mm size
( diameter ).
The horizontal
storage tank, whether aboveground or underground,
shall invariably
be
provided with earthing connection
to eliminate the possibility of accumulation
of static
charge on the surface of the tank either due to
atmospheric electricity or due to flow of product
into the tank.
12.3 Nozzles
The nozzle sizes shall be selected
to meet
individual operating
conditions
of filling and
emptying rates.
For this purpose, two earthing bosses of appropriate sizes shall be welded to the saddle
support in case of above-ground
tanks and to
the end plate in case of underground
tanks.
Guidelines for making earthing connection
for
tanks are also given in Annex D.
13 FABRICATION
12.5 Accessories
AND SHOP
PAINTING
The tank shall be provided with a fill connection, a draw-off connection, a dip-connection
a vent connection and a drain connection.
12.5.1 Fill Connection
by welding.
Welding procedure in general and the qualification of welders shall be as specified in
IS 9595 : 1980and IS 817 : 1966.
12.5.2.1 The calibrated dip rod shah be of nonsparking material ( 12 mm square brass rod is
recommended ).

ASPHALT DOPING
Asphalt doping should be adopted to provide
satisfactory
protection
to steeI against soil
attack.
C-l.2 Doping of tank should not be taken in
hand until the tank is finally tested inside the
pit and all water emptied out. However, on the
portion of the outside surface of tank which
come in contact
with cement concrete
or
foundation, doping can be carried out ( as per
the laid down procedure/specifications
) before
testing, excluding the welding joints portions
which shall be completed after testing.
for carrying
out
a) Surface Preparation-The
outside surface
of the tank, turn buckle, anchor bolts,
burried portion
of manholes, nozzles,
saddles,
etc, should be
thoroughly
cleaned by scraping with wire brushes
and sand papers to bare metal. All mill
scales dirt should be completely removed
before starting the doping work.

with the earth in an efficient manner by not less
than 2 separate and distinct connections pIaced
at the opposite extremities of such tank. The
connections
and contacts shall have as few
joints as possible.
All joints shall be riveted,
