  • Tank Gauging Blog: New API2350 Atmospheric Tank Storage Overfill Standard Explained in Detail

    Emerson’s Carl-Johan Roos shared ways to comply with the new API2350 standard for overfill protection on tanks. CJ opened noting there is no reward for risk takers when it comes to overfill protection. He is a member of the API2350 committee. Overfills occur one out of 3,300 fillings according to insurance company data. The vast majority don’t result in explosions or fires, but do result in the need for environmental…
