Other standards

Depending on the project where you will weld parts, there are special standards to be applied in the design and construction of the project, as an example in petroleum tanks the standard is Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage (API 650), from the American Petroleum Institute, and there are also standards for petroleum pipes, like Code Clinic for Study of API 1104 Welding of Pipelines and Related Facilities (American Welding Society), and for pipes we have ASME B31.8 for gas transportation and ASME B31.4 for liquid hydrocarbons. For painting there is  SSPC: Steel Structures Painting Manual (2 Volume Set) (Hardcover) and of course we cant´forget about security, it´s first in every project! for that we have to work acording to OSHA Standards for the Construction Industry as of 01/2011.-

And here I post a new video on a petroleum tank farm construction:
