shall not be more than 80db when measured in accordance with
ANSI/IEEE C.57.12.90/1980.
The tank shall be made out of low carbon steel and shall be of welded
construction and provided with gasketed steel cover plates. The tank cover
shall be bolted to the tank. The base shall be provided with suitable
reinforcement to prevent any distortion during lifting. The tank shall have
sufficient strength to withstand without distortion the filling with oil by
