 PURPOSE AND USE OF PROCESS INDUSTRY PRACTICES

In an effort to minimize the cost of process industry facilities, this Practice has
been prepared from the technical requirements in the existing standards of major
industrial users, contractors, or standards organizations. By harmonizing these technical
requirements into a single set of Practices, administrative, application, and engineering
costs to both the purchaser and the manufacturer should be reduced. While this Practice
is expected to incorporate the majority of requirements of most users, individual
applications may involve requirements that will be appended to and take precedence
over this Practice. Determinations concerning fitness for purpose and particular matters
or application of the Practice to particular project or engineering situations should not
be made solely on information contained in these materials. The use of trade names
from time to time should not be viewed as an expression of preference but rather
recognized as normal usage in the trade. Other brands having the same specifications
are equally correct and may be substituted for those named. All Practices or guidelines
are intended to be consistent with applicable laws and regulations including OSHA
requirements. To the extent these Practices or guidelines should conflict with OSHA or
other applicable laws or regulations, such laws or regulations must be followed.
Consult an appropriate professional before applying or acting on any material
contained in or suggested by the Practice.

This Practice is subject to revision at any time.

Supplemental Data Sheet and Instructions (Supplement to API Standard 650) June 2009

1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose
This Practice provides a data sheet supplemental to the API 650 Tank Data Sheet and
the associated instructions for specifying requirements for atmospheric storage tanks
in accordance with PIP VESTA002.

1.2 Scope
This Practice contains a PIP VEDTA003-D Atmospheric Storage Tank Data Sheet for
providing supplemental requirements not otherwise specified in the API 650 Tank
Data Sheet for welded steel atmospheric storage tanks designed in accordance with
API 650.
The PIP VEDTA003-D Data Sheet is required to be prepared in conjunction with PIP
VESTA002 and the API 650 Tank Data Sheet to specify requirements that are to be
used by the Manufacturer to design, fabricate, and erect an atmospheric storage tank
in accordance with API 650.
This Practice provides instructions to Purchasers and Manufacturers for the
preparation and completion of the PIP VEDTA003-D Data Sheet.
