Summary "Although the majority of above ground storage tanks are constructed according the standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API), these standards only provide requirements. There has long been a need for a book that deals with all aspects subsequent to design. Filling this need, this book deals with every aspect that needs to be known upon receipt of an order to construct a storage tank at site. It describes all activities that are to be carried out in a sequential manner, principally aimed at achieving required quality for the constructed storage tank."-- Provided by publisher
