AWWA Standard

Welded Carbon Steel Tanks for Water Storage

SECTION 1:
Sec. 1.1 Scope

GENERAL

The purpose of this standard is to provide minimum requirements for the design, construction, inspection, and testing of new welded carbon steel tanks for the storage of water at atmospheric pressure. 1.1.1 Tank roofs. All tanks storing potable water shall have roofs. Tanks storing nonpotable water may be constructed without roofs. 1.1.2 Items not covered. This standard does not cover all details of design and construction because of the large variety of sizes and shapes of tanks. Details that are not addressed shall be designed and constructed to be adequate and as safe as those that would otherwise be provided under this standard. This standard does not cover concretesteel composite tank construction.* With the exception of aluminum dome roofs, this standard does not cover tanks constructed with materials other than carbon steel. This standard does not cover painting and disinfecting of tanks (see ANSI/AWWA D102, Coating Steel Water-Storage Tanks, and ANSI/ AWWA C652, Disinfection of Water-Storage Facilities). 1.1.3 Design method. With the exception of reinforced concrete foundations, this standard is based on the allowable-stress design method.

* Refer to ANSI/AWWA D107, Composite Elevated Tanks for Water Storage.

Sec. 1.2

Definitions
The following definitions shall apply in this standard: 1. Capacity: The net volume, in gallons (liters), that may be removed from a tank filled to top capacity level (TCL) and emptied to the bottom capacity level (BCL). 2. Constructor: The party that furnishes the work and materials for placement and installation. 3. Elevated tank: A container or storage tank supported on a tower. 4. Head range: The vertical distance between the TCL and BCL. 5. Potable water: Water that is safe and satisfactory for drinking and cooking. 6. Purchaser: The person, company, or organization that purchases any materials or work to be performed. 7. Reservoir: A ground-supported, flat-bottom, cylindrical tank having a shell height equal to or smaller than its diameter. 8. Standpipe: A ground-supported, flat-bottom, cylindrical tank having a shell height greater than its diameter. 9. Tank: An elevated tank, a standpipe, or a reservoir. 10. Water levels: The following water levels are used in this standard: 10.1 Bottom capacity level (BCL): The water level above which the specified capacity is provided. In a ground-supported tank (reservoir or standpipe), the BCL shall be the water level in the tank shell when the tank is emptied through the specified discharge fittings, unless otherwise specified. 10.2 Maximum operating level (MOL): The specified maximum water level under normal operating conditions. The MOL shall be taken as the TCL, unless otherwise specified. 10.3 Top capacity level (TCL): The water level defined by the lip of the overflow. Construction drawings for the foundation, tank, and accessories shall be provided. Where foundation and tank design are performed by separate parties, each party shall provide construction drawings. If anchorage is required, anchorage details, including required embedment, local reinforcement, and minimum required concrete strength, shall be provided as part of the tank design. Details of all welded joints shall be provided when specified. Standard weld symbols as listed in ANSI/AWS A2.4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing,
