Réservoirs de stockage en surface. Les réservoirs d'acier en surface sont généralement de forme cylindrique et sont formés d'éléments soudés ou boulonnés. Ils sont construits pour résister à une pression de service de 2 1/2 lb/po² et à un vide de 3/4 oz/po². Ces réservoirs sont horizontaux ou verticaux. Les réservoirs horizontaux ont une forme cylindrique et sont munis de plaques de bout arrondies ou planes, et reposent sur des claies ou des chevalets de béton. Les réservoirs verticaux, à fond plat et à toit conique, reposent généralement sur un lit de schiste, de gravier ou de sable bien dressé. 4, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9servoir%20hors%20sol
