SCOPE
This standard covers requirements for establishing the
design, materials, fabrication, erection, inspection and
testing, of non-refrigerated cone and dome roof tanks,
floating roof and open top tanks.
When applicable codes and standards described are in
conflict with any of the requirements of this KNPC standard
or related data sheets, clarification from purchaser shall
be obtained for appropriate action.
This standard also includes tank connections and
appurtenances. It defines and limits certain alternatives.
In applying this standard and the details pertinent to the
tank, the Vendor accepts full responsibility for the detail
design, construction, testing, and conformance to the
referenced codes and standards, regulations, and the
requirements of the purchase order.
Commodity specifications include individual tank data
sheets for each item. ‘The data sheets contain the basic
information, needed for design.
Orientation drawings showing locations of nozzles and
external attachments will be issued after an order is
placed.
Some requirements of this standard may be modified in the
commodity specification or by specific requirements on the
tank data sheets. In case of a conflict, the specific
requirements supersede this standard.
DEFINITIONS ON TANK CAPACITY
The tank data sheet of the tank commodity specification
shows the required tank capacity in barrels.
The API tank data sheet shows the tank capacity in barrels
too, but in addition provides the Nominal tank capacity and
the Net Working tank capacity.API STORAGE TANKS

Rev. 1
Date: Apr. 12, 1984
KNPC ENG STD 1401
Here after follow the definition for Net Working and
Nominal tank capacity.
21
2.3 -
The Net Working tank capacity is the minimum ligula
capacity required, excluding any tank capacity for
liquid Heel and Vapor space.
‘The Nominal tank capacity is the Net Working tank
capacity plus the tank capacity of one (1) foot or
more in height, for the Vapor Space above the highest
liquid level (HLL), plus the tank capacity of the
Liquid Heel.
The Liquid Heel is the height of the tank below the
low liquid level (LLL), measured from the bottom ID
of the outlet nozzle inside the tank to the inside
bottom plate of the tank.
The tank diameter and height shown on the tank data
sheets are nominal unless epecified otherwise.
