Mass integrity of aboveground storage tanks

R. A. Childs

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The problems of testing aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) include determining the amount of product leaking, accuracy of testing method, and leak location in a tank. Several different methods are currently being used to determine the integrity of an AST. One test method used and tested in the field, the mass integrity method, is reviewed in which the mass of a fluid is calculated from a pressure reading at the bottom of the tank.
