DOD Standard AW 078-24-27 Above Ground Vertical Fuel Tanks with Fixed Roofs.pdf_safe.pdf

This document is the Department of Defense (DoD) Standard Design AW 78-24-27 for Aboveground Vertical Steel Fuel Tanks with Fixed Roofs, dated October 2011. The comprehensive technical drawing set provides detailed engineering specifications for multiple sizes of vertical steel fuel storage tanks, ranging from 5K to 100K barrels (BBL), with standardized design elements including tank bottom, foundation, piping, nozzle/equipment schedules, and installation details.

The drawings cover critical technical aspects such as tank shell design, roof configurations, foundation requirements, piping and interconnection plans, grounding systems, leak detection mechanisms, and various support structures like ladders, platforms, and roof vents. The standard design incorporates specifications for tank sizing, material requirements, safety features, corrosion protection, and installation guidelines, with specific attention to elements like thermal relief valves, cathodic protection, and equipment grounding. The document is intended to provide a uniform engineering standard for military fuel storage tank construction, ensuring consistency and reliability across different tank sizes and potential deployment locations.
