• <br />APPENDIX <br />The diagram below is included to assist in the identification of the accessories of <br />Aboveground Storage Tank which are to be inspected per paragraph 4. Any specific <br />individual tank may include one or all of these accessories. <br />TRNL <br />The purpose of these accessories is as follows: <br />1. Spill Container-This tank accessory is designed to catch any spills during <br />tank filling operations. It typically has a lockable, hinged lid and allows any <br />spilled fluid to drain into the tank. <br />2. Tank Vent (and Riser -This tank accessory allows air to enter the tank when <br />fluid is being withdrawn and also exhausts air when the tank is being filled. <br />This prevents damage to the tank due to too much pressure. The vent is <br />typically installed on a pipe which is 12 feet above the ground. <br />3. Emergency Vent (for Primary and Secondary Tank -These tank accessories <br />prevent damage to the tank by allowing excess pressure to be vented. They <br />are designed to relieve excess pressure in the event of an emergency, such <br />as a fire. <br />4. Monitor Pipe for Leak Detection-This pipe is installed in the air space <br />(interstice). between the primary tank and secondary tank of a double wall <br />tank. It is typically used with leak detection equipment to detect a leak in <br />either the primary or secondary tank. <br />5. Tank Supports-These structures are used to elevate the tank off the ground. <br />AST Inspection Standard 10 September 2000
