API Specification 12P for Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic Tanks, Fourth Edition, February 2016

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment

Statement of Substantiation: 1. API Specification 12P is referenced in the IFC and such tanks are preferred in the Petroleum Exploration and Production industry to separate water from oil well produced water. The produced water is contaminated with sulfur and other corrosive material that is best processed in fiberglass tanks.2. API 12P (2016) has been upgraded to include the requirements for (a) electrostatic hazards that may accumulated on both the inside and outside of the tank wall (i.e. static protection) and (b) lightning protection grounding, both of which are required to prevent such fire occurrences that have occurred in the past.3. API 12P (2016) formalized their API Monogram quality control warranty program to License manufacturers and includes manufacturing site inspections.

Public Comment No. 32-NFPA 30-2016 [ Section No. 21.4.3.4 ]

21.4.3.4

Atmospheric storage tanks shall be vented to prevent the development of vacuum or pressureabove the 1.0 psi (6.9 kPa) maximum operating pressure.


Public Comment – Until the TG completes its proposed revisions to 21.4.3.4, we believe it is important to recognize the comprehensive safety requirements in UL2583 for verification of the functional operating parameters of normal (P/V) vents commonly used on shop fabricated tanks, as new Appendix material.A21.4.3.4 Normal (pressure/vacuum) vents evaluated to UL2583 verifies the normally closed device opens under both 0.5 psi vacuum and 1.0 psi pressure relative to normal operating conditions (fill & withdraw) and atmospheric changes (temperature & pressure) as intended per 21.4.3.1 and required by 21.4.3.4. The evaluation ensures the device opens with adequate flow at these values before and after expected installation and use conditions, such as fuel vapor and environmental exposures. Rationale – Normal (P/V) vents have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs in various flammable liquid storage tank applications for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30. Since UL2583 has published new & revised requirements to verify these functional safety devices will open outside of the tanks normal operating parameters of pressure and vacuum under expected installation & use conditions, including biofuels compatibility, we believe UL2583 should be referenced as meeting the minimum n-vent safety requirements in the Code. Several manufacturers are already in compliance with the new requirements.

Public Comment No. 34-NFPA 30-2016 [ Section No. 21.7.1 ]

21.7.1* Prevention of Overfilling of Storage Tanks.

Facilities with aboveground tanks larger than 1320 gal (5000 L) storing Class I or Class IIliquids shall establish procedures or shall provide equipment, or both, to prevent overfilling oftanks.

21.7.1.1

Facilities with aboveground tanks that receive and transfer Class I liquids from mainlinepipelines or marine vessels shall establish and follow formal written procedures to preventoverfilling of tanks utilizing one of the following methods of protection:

(1) Tanks shall be gauged at intervals in accordance with established procedures bypersonnel continuously on the premises during product receipt. Acknowledgedcommunication shall be maintained with the supplier so flow can be shut down or divertedin accordance with established procedures.

(2) Tanks shall be equipped with a high-level detection device that is either independent ofany gauging equipment or incorporates a gauging and alarm system that provideselectronic self-checking to indicate when the gauging and alarm system has failed. Alarmsshall be located where personnel who are on duty throughout product transfer can arrangefor flow stoppage or diversion in accordance with established procedures.

(3) Tanks shall be equipped with an independent high-level detection system that willautomatically shut down or divert flow in accordance with established procedures.

21.7.1.2

Alternatives to instrumentation described in 21.7.1.1 (2) and 21.7.1.1 (3) shall be allowedwhere approved as affording equivalent protection.

21.7.1.3

Instrumentation systems covered in 21.7.1.1 (2) and 21.7.1.1 (3) shall be wired fail-safe, suchthat valid alarm conditions or system failures create an alarm condition that will notifypersonnel or automatically shut down or divert flow.

21.7.1.3.1

Written instrumentation performance procedures shall be established to define valid alarmconditions and system failures in accordance with API 2350, Overfill Protection for StorageTanks in Petroleum Facilities.

21.7.1.3.2

21.7.1.4

Formal written procedures required by 21.7.1.1 shall include the following:

(1) Instructions covering methods to check for lineup and receipt of initial delivery to tankdesignated to receive shipment.

(2) Provision for training and monitoring the performance of operating personnel bysupervisors.

(3) Schedules and procedures for inspection and testing of gauging equipment and high-levelinstrumentation and related systems. Inspection and testing intervals shall be approvedbut shall not exceed 1 year.

21.7.1.5

An underground tank shall be equipped with overfill prevention equipment that will either alertthe transfer operator when the tank is no more than 90 percent full by triggering an audibleand visual high-level alarm or automatically shut off the flow of liquid into the tank when thetank is no more than 95 percent full.

21.7.1.5.1

Other methods of overfill protection shall be permitted as approved by the authority havingjurisdiction.

21.7.1.6

Shop-fabricated aboveground atmospheric storage tanks, constructed to the recognizedstandards of 21.4.2.1.1, shall meet the requirements of 21.7.1.6.1 through 21.7.1.6.4whenever the vertical length from the tank bottom to the top of the fill, normal vent, oremergency vent exceeds 12 ft (3.7 m).

21.7.1.6.1

An approved means shall be provided to notify the tank filling operator of the pendingcompletion of the tank fill operation at the fill connection.

21.7.1.6.2

An approved means shall be provided to stop delivery of liquid to the tank prior to the completefilling of the tank.

21.7.1.6.3

In no case shall these provisions restrict or interfere with the functioning of the normal vent oremergency vent.

21.7.1.6.4

The manufacturer of the tank shall be consulted to determine if reinforcement of the tank isrequired. If reinforcement is deemed necessary, it shall be done.


Public Comment – Until the TG completes its proposed revisions to re-write Sec 21.7.1 for overfill protection, we believe it is important to recognize the comprehensive safety requirements in UL2583 for verification of the functional operating parameters of these devices that are commonly used on shop fabricated tanks, as new Appendix material.21.7.1.5* An underground tank shall be equipped with overfill prevention equipment…

A21.7.1.5 Underground tank overfill protectors are an effective means to meet parts of the US EPA Underground Storage Tank (UST) Regulations (CFR 40 Part 280). Spill containment devices (weld on, spin on, side mount or remote fill types) evaluated to UL2583 requires minimum design criteria to

fit inside the fill opening, and verifies flow restriction and shutoff at the fill levels specified in 21.7.1.5 before and after expected installation and use conditions, such as fuel vapor and environmental exposures.

But, overfill preventers could also apply to aboveground tanks in Sec 21.7.1 (…or shall provide equipment, or both, to prevent overfilling of tanks.), plus 3 of 4 required parts of Sec 21.1.6, so we are also proposing similar Appendix material:

21.7.1.6.1 (…means shall be provided to notify the tank filling operator of the pending completion of the tank fill operation…), 21.7.1.6.2 (…means shall be provided to stop delivery of liquid to the tank…) and,21.7.1.6.3 (In no case shall the provisions restrict or interfere with the functioning of the normal or emergency vent.)

A 21.1.6 Overfill preventers evaluated to UL2583 are also suitable for use on aboveground tanks as an effective means to meet parts of the US EPA Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure (SPCC) Regulations (CFR 40 Part 112), and general intent of 21.7.1 and 21.7.1.6.1 to 21.7.1.6.3.

Rationale – Overfill preventers have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs in various flammable liquid storage tank applications for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30. Since UL2583 has published new & revised requirements to verify functional safety of these devices under expected installation & use conditions, including biofuels compatibility, and operating features for flow restriction and shutoff at fill levels per 21.7.1.5, we believe UL2583 should be referenced as meeting the minimum overfill protection requirements in the Code. Several manufacturers are already in compliance with the new requirements.

22.7.3.2.2

The wetted area of the tank shall be calculated as follows:

(1) Fifty-five percent of the total exposed area of a sphere or spheroid

(2) Seventy-five percent of the total exposed area of a horizontal tank

(3) One hundred percent of the exposed shell and floor area of a rectangular tank, butexcluding the top surface of the tank

(4) The first 30 ft (9 m) above grade of the exposed shell area of a vertical tank


Public Comment with respect to added new section after this one.

Public Comment – We appreciate the TC’s opportunity provided by CI#407 to add a new paragraph 22.7.3.2.3 specific to emergency vent devices commonly used on shop fabricated tanks, but think it may be best within this Code cycle to recognize the comprehensive requirements in UL2583 for these e-vents to be added to the 22.7.3.1 Appendix material as follows:A22.7.3.1 Emergency vents evaluated to UL2583 verifies the devices functional opening for pressure relief as required by 22.7.3.1. The tests ensure the device in normal use is closed and vapor tight per 22.7.3.2.1, then initially opens under abnormal pressure conditions at or below the 1.0 psi operating limits (see 21.4.2.1.4) and provides the minimum CFH flow rate per 22.7.3.2 without exceeding the 2.5 psi design limits of most shop fabricated atmospheric tanks (see 21.4.2.1.4). These functional safety parameters are also evaluated after expected installation and use conditions, such as fuel vapor and environmental exposures. In addition, UL2583 requires markings that meet 22.7.3.10 and 22.7.3.10.1 to 22.7.3.10.4 based on the above test results.

Rationale – Emergency vents have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs in various flammable liquid storage tank applications for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30. Since UL2583 has published new & revised requirements to verify functional safety of e-vents under expected installation & use conditions, including biofuels compatibility, and specific operating parameters for start-to-open & full open pressure, plus maximum flow capacity, we believe UL2583 should be referenced as meeting the minimum e-vent safety requirements in the Code. Several manufacturers are already in compliance with the new requirements.

22.13.4.2

Such connections for any liquid shall be closed and liquidtight when not in use and shall beproperly identified.

22.13.4..3 (New Section added after 22.13.4.2Committee Input - CI 408


Committee Statement: The committee might consider adding new requirements for appurtenances to tank openings other than vents.

Public Comment – We appreciate the opportunity provided by CI#408 for addition of new paragraph 22.13.4.3 to address safety related devices other than vents commonly used in/on or around shop fabricated tank openings. But until a proper re-write can be done for this and other appropriate sections, it would be best within this Code cycle to only add spill containment requirements here, with new Appendix material to recognize UL2583 for compliance with Code requirements for them: 22.13.4.3* Appurtenances for tank openings A permanently attached means for leak tight spill containment shall be provided around fill openings for shop fabricated aboveground tanks intended for filling by delivery vehicles through a hose transfer. The containment capacity shall be sized to collect minor spills and overfills based on the opening diameter and fill rate. When not in use, spill containers shall be closed to prevent rain or debris from entering the containment area.A22.13.4.3 Aboveground tank spill containers are an effective means to meet parts of the US EPA Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure (SPCC) Regulations (CFR 40 Part 112). Spill containment devices (weld on, spin on, side mount or remote fill types) evaluated to UL2583 requires minimum design criteria for capacity, height, covers/lids and optional shutoff valves to ensure sufficient leak tight containment, compatibility and protection of fill adapters, drain valves, and other functional components within. Rationale – Spill containers have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs in various flammable liquid storage tank applications for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30. Since UL2583 has published new & revised requirements for these devices to establish effective capacities & dimensions for different container types and tanks sizes, and verify leak tight spill containment and component functions under expected installation & use conditions, including biofuels compatibility, we believe UL2583 should be referenced as meeting the minimum spill container safety requirements in the Code. Several manufacturers are already in compliance with the new requirements.

27.2.4 Low Melting Point Materials.

Materials that melt at a low temperature, including but not limited to aluminum, copper, or brass;materials that soften on fire exposure, such as plastics thermoplastics ; or nonductile materials,such as cast iron.


1. Background: The US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board March 2007 investigation report on the 1/11/2006 fire/explosion at the City of Daytona Beach, FL Waste water Treatment Plant page 39 recommended "revise NFPA 30 to specifically exclude the use of THERMOPLASTICS in above ground flammable liquid service. (capitalization of thermoplastics added)

2. The revised NFPA 30 paragraph 27.2.4 contains an error and does not recognize the Webster's dictionary definition of thermoplastic ("capable of softening or fusing when heated"), and thermoset plastic ("capable of becoming permanently rigid when heated or cured").

3. The Uniform Building Code calls for a flame spread of less than 200 per ASTM E84-81 whereas FRP pipe resin has a flame spread of 25, which is considerably less than the UBC flame spread criteria. Thus FRP pipe is approved in the UBC.

4. Fuel Contribution Index: Unprotected thermoset pipe will be consumed when exposed to fire and is self extinguishing when the flame is removed, thus the fuel contribution is zero.

5. Flame resistant insulated pipe: Intumescent material is incorporated in the pipe resin such that the pipe is fire rated for three hours under flow conditions.

6. Phenolic Resin FRP pipe: ASTM F 117 01 Standard Specification for Thermosetting Resin Fiberglass Pipe Systems to be used for all fluids in Marine Applications. Thus, such ASTM FRP piping is used for all fluids in marine piping systems to improve buoyancy of the structure (i.e., light weight piping).

7. Summary: The 20115 Edition NFPA 30 inadvertently substituted the word "plastic" for "thermoplastic" versus the U S Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board recommendation to exclude the use of "plastic" piping in above ground flammable liquid service.

27.5.2 Flexible Connectors.

Listed flexible connectors shall Flexible connectors listed and labeled in accordance wiht UL2039, Standard for Flexible Connector Pipe for Fuels shall be permitted to be used whereinstalled in accordance with 27 . 5.3.


A27.5.2 Although use of Listed flexible connectors are a recommend means to mitigate pipe damage from stress, vibration and mechanical damage typically used in piping systems, not all Listed products are suitable for flammable and combustible liquid applications. Products Listed in accordance with UL2039 - Flexible Connector Piping for Fuels have been evaluated for automotive fuels and similar flammable & combustible liquids applicable to NFPA 30 and NFPA 30A uses. Products Listed in accordance with UL536 Flexible Metallic Hose have been evaluated for flammable gasses such as LPG, butane and natural gas applicable to NFPA 52 and NFPA 58 uses. Rationale – UL2039 flex connector pipe for fuels have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30 or NFPA 30A. Since UL2039 published new & revised requirements in 2010 to address changes in expected installation & use conditions, including biofuels compatibility and fire resistance, which many manufacturers have complied with, we believe UL2039 should establish the minimum “Listing” requirements in the Code. It should also be noted that similar metallic flexible connectors covered under UL536 for “gaseous” fuels, such as butane, propane & natural gas, have recently excluded “liquid” fuels which are now covered under UL2039. UL2039 covers metallic & hybrid types of primary, secondary & coaxial flex connectors for automotive or similar fuels up to 6” OD & 12’L, and is rated for underground, sump and/or aboveground applications. The main performance requirements include pressure/vacuum leakage & strength tests after sequential rough assembly & installation simulation (drop, impact, crush, torque, tension & vibration), in addition to evaluation of long term material compatibility (external fluids & environments and internal bio fuels including B20 & E85), and fire resistance. UL2039 was balloted as a consensus Standard last year and was recently published.

Public Comment No. 29-NFPA 30-2016 [ Section No. A.21.4.2.1.1 ]

A.21.4.2.1.1

Atmospheric tanks include tanks of compartmented design and tanks that incorporatesecondary containment.

See UL 142A, Outline for Special Purpose Aboveground Tanks for Specific Flammable orCombustible Liquids for additional information regarding listing of special purpose above groundtanks.


Public Comment 1 - We support Committee Input #17 to reference UL142A in A21.4.2.1.1, but believe a summary of exactly what special purpose tank types are covered, and how they differ from UL142 general purpose tanks should also be added to provide important details. A21.4.2.1.1 (Replace the CI new addition with): UL142A Outline for Special Purpose Aboveground Tanks for Specific Flammable & Combustible Liquids contains requirements for shop fabricated steel generator base, work bench, lube oil, used oil and day tanks. These requirements address constructions, features and performance for tank types having special use applications, stored liquids limitation, and optional accessories that are not covered by UL142 for general purpose tank and uses.Rationale – UL142A special purpose tank types have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30 because they were incorrectly thought to be covered by UL142. We believe the Appendix reference to UL142A with the clarifications as proposed provides the accurate information Code users need to correctly identify the differences with UL142 general purpose tank types which cover a wider range of applications for significantly more flammable & combustible liquids.

Public Comment 2 - In addition to the expanded Appendix material, we also believe our original proposal to reference UL142A in the 21.4.2.1 list of design standards should be reconsidered, as it has been a practically accepted “recognized engineering standard” by everyone in the industry since the mid 90’s, regardless of its temporary Outline status. 21.4.2.1.1 (Add to list): (#) UL142A Outline for Special Purpose Aboveground Tanks for Specific Flammable & Combustible Liquids.Rationale – UL142A special purpose tank types have been Listed by UL and approved by AHJs for decades, but was never referenced in NFPA 30 because they were incorrectly thought to be covered by UL142. As 10’s of thousands of these tanks have been Listed, Labeled and Approved for their special purpose applications, it would be a dis-service to Code users to deny correct document identification of UL142A requirements in the body, to which all these tanks were evaluated. As stated at the 1st Draft Meeting, UL142A contains limitations, unique features & new or revised requirements to address the specific special purpose tank types and their applications, which are not in UL142.
