NACE No. 10/SSPC-PA 6-2023, Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Linings Applied to Bottoms of Carbon Steel Aboveground Storage Tanks

Fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) linings are used worldwide to prevent the corrosion and deterioration of storage tank bottoms in petroleum, petrochemical, and other services. Experience has shown that the useful life of an FRP lining may exceed 25 years. API Standard 653 permits a minimum remaining thickness of the tank bottom plate to be 1.25 mm (0.050 in) when lined with FRP compared to a thickness of 2.5 mm (0.10 in) if unlined or lined with a nonreinforced coating system and not equipped with a tank bottom leak detection system.
