Tanks and pressure vessels storing Class IA liquids shall be equipped with venting devices which shall be normally closed except when venting to pressure or vacuum conditions. Tanks and pressure vessels storing Class IB and IC liquids shall be equipped with venting devices which shall be normally closed except when venting under pressure or vacuum conditiions, or with approved flame arresters. Exemption: Tanks of 3,000 bbls. capacityor less containing crude petroleum in crude-producing areas; and, outside aboveground atmospheric tanks under 1,000 gallons capacity containing other than class IA flammable liquids may have open vents. (See subdivision (vi)(b) of this subparagraph.) 1910.106(b)(2)(iv)(g) Flame arresters or venting devices required in subdivision (f) of this subdivision may be omitted for Class IB and IC liquids where conditions are such that their use may, in case of obstruction, result in tank damage. ..1910.106(b)(2)(v) 1910.106(b)(2)(v) "Emergency relief venting for fire exposure for aboveground tanks." 1910.106(b)(2)(v)(a) Every aboveground storage tank shall have some form of construction or device that will relieve excessive internal pressure caused by exposure fires. 1910.106(b)(2)(vi) "Vent piping for aboveground tanks." 1910.106(b)(2)(vi)(a) Vent piping shall be constructed in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section. 1910.106(b)(2)(vi)(b) Where vent pipe outlets for tanks storing Class I liquids are adjacent to buildings or public ways, they shall be located so that the vapors are released at a safe point outside of buildings and not less than 12 feet above the adjacent ground level. In order to aid their dispersion, vapors shall be discharged. 1910.106(b)(5)(vii) "Earthquake areas." In areas subject to earthquakes,the tank supports and connections shall be designed to resist damage as a result of such shocks. 1910.106(b)(7)(i) "General." All tanks, whether shop built or field erected, shall be strength tested before they are placed in service in accordance with the applicable paragraphs of the code under which they were build. The American society of Mechancial Engineers (ASME) code stamp, American Petroleum Institute (API) monogram, or the label of the Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., on a tank shall be evidence of compliance with this strength test. Tanks not marked in accordance with the above codes shall be strength tested before they are placed in service in accordance with good engineering principles and reference shall be made to the sections on testing in the codes listed in subparagraphs (1)(iii)(a),(vi)(b), or (v)(b) of this paragraph. 1910.106(b)(7)(ii) "Strength." When the vertical length of the fill and vent pipes is such that when filled with liquid the static head imposed upon the bottom of the tank exceeds 10 pounds per square inch, the tank and related piping shall be tested hydrostatically to a pressure equal to the static head thus imposed. ..1910.106(b)(7)(iii) 1910.106(b)(7)(iii) "Tightness." In addition to the strength test called for in subdivisions (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph, all tanks and connections shall be tested for tightness. Except for underground rtanks, this tightness test shall be made at operating pressure with air, inert gas or water prior to placing the tank in service. In the case of field-erected tanks the strength test may be considered to be the test for tank tightness. Underground tanks and piing, before being covered, enclosed, or placed in use, shall be tested for tightness hydrostatically, or with air pressure at not less than 3 pounds per square inch be tested hydrostatically to a pressure equal to the static head thus imposed. 1910.106(g)(4)(ii)(d) Where tanks are at an elevation which would produce gravity head on the dispensing unit, the tank outlet shall be equipped with a pressure control valve specified in paragraph (b)(2)(ix)(b) of this section, so adjusted that liquid cannot flow by gravity from the tank in case of piping or hose failure. 1910.106(g)(iii) "Emergency power cutoff." A clearly idnetified and easily accessible switch(es) or a circuit breaker(s) shall be provided at a location remote from dispensing devices, including remote pumping systems, to shut off the power to all dispensing devices in the event of emergency.
