This standard practice specifies the procedures to design, apply, and inspect fiberglass-reinforce
d plastic (FRP) linings that are applied internally to the bottom of carbon steel aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). This standard serves as a resource to facility owners preparing specifications for achieving successful lining applications in ASTs in the petroleum/petrochemi
cal industry. However, the practices described are useful during preparation of specifications for ASTs in other services as well. Key words: carbon steels, coatings, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), protective linings, storage tanks.
