This standard is intended primarily for application to tanks fabricated to API Specifications 12B, 12D, 12F, and 12P which are employed in onshore productions services but may be applied to other tanks and services at the discretion of the Owner/Operator.

Annex G of this standard contains specific safety information applicable to tanks. For additional safety information, see other publications referenced within this standard.

The schematic drawings included in this standard are examples of some features described in the standard.

Lease automatic custody transfer (LACT) operations are covered in the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards.
