This article is an overview of above-ground storage tank (AST) in the US. Tank numbers, size, construction, location, and material stored will be discussed. The present environment for nondestructive testing (NDT) technologies will also be explored. The present aging storage tank population presents an opportunity for the NDT community to provide the necessary technologies to verify storage tank reliability in a cost beneficial manner. The paper first explains terminology, definitions, and standards, then discusses estimates of the AST population, causes of petroleum spillage, and how the industry tests for leaks.
