 Storage tanks are containers that hold liquids, compressed gases (gas tank) or mediums

 used for the short- or long-term storage of heat or cold. This chapter contains information

 about aboveground tanks, with special reference to tanks made of carbon steel materials.

 Storage tanks are available in many shapes: vertical and horizontal cylindrical; 

 open top and closed top; flat bottom, cone bottom, slope bottom and dish bottom.

 Large tanks tend to be vertical cylindrical, to easier withstand hydraulic & 

 hydrostatically induced pressure of contained liquid. Most container tanks for

 handling liquids during transportation are designed to handle varying degrees

 of pressure.
