API PUBL 334, 1996 Edition, March 1996 - Guide to Leak Detection for Aboveground Storage Tanks

FOREWORD

This document is intended to provide the reader with a background in leak detection technologies for aboveground storage tanks in petroleum service. This document was developed by Vista Research, Inc. under the guidance of the API Leak Detection Workgroup and the API Storage Tank Task Force. The document incorporates information on leak detection technologies from APIs research and from the experience of workgroup members. While an attempt has been made to discuss the main types of leak detection methods, the reader should recognize that there may be other forms of leak detection not discussed in this publication. The reader should also be cautioned that claims made by leak detection vendors should be carefully evaluated and that API does not endorse any of the leak detection technologies discussed in this publication.
