Product AwardCorrosion control systems used for the underside steel plates of above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) may not provide adequate protection in certain situations. Specifically, severe corrosion of the chime area may lead to unplanned outages and could impact the tank’s structural integrity near the critical weld between shell plates and chime/floor plates. Some design and construction […]
