Revised in 2006, this standard (formerly RP0294-94) provides recommended design, fabrication, and inspection practices for maintaining the mechanical integrity and minimizing the potential occurrence of undetected corrosion in concentrated fresh sulfuric acid tanks, process sulfuric acid tanks, or oleum storage tanks at atmospheric and low pressure. Inspection guidelines that aid in detecting and monitoring corrosion are presented, with the overall aim being to avert catastrophic failures that can be caused by corrosion of carbon steel. Key words: sulfuric acid, oleum, tanks, carbon steel, process acid.
