D100-55: Steel Tanks, Standpipes, Reservoirs and Elevated Tanks with D102-55T: Tentative Recommended Practice for Painting and Repainting Steel Tanks, Standpipes, Reservoirs and Elevated Tanks (PDF)
SKU: STD_0074365-PDF
These specifications provide a uniform guide for minimum requirements as to the design, fabrication and erection of elevated steel water tank, standpipe and reservoir structures of either welded or riveted construction. These specifications are a revision and extension to include welded construction of the specifications entitled "Standard Specifications for Riveted Steel Elevated Tanks and Standpipes," which were prepared by Subcommittee 7H of the American Water Works Association and published tentatively in the JOURNAL in December 1931, and finally in the JOURNAL, November 1935. The major changes to this revision of the standard are extensive and affect Sec. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12. An appendix on radiographic test procedures has been added (Appendix A), and the former appendix has been redesignated Appendix B. AWWA D102 provides an outline of methods which the tank owner should follow in painting or repainting steel tanks, standpipes, reservoirs, and elevated tanks, for water storage.
