API 575 Questions

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about API 575 standards for atmospheric storage tanks. The questions cover topics such as the specifications that covered riveted atmospheric storage tanks (API 12A), fluids not suitable for atmospheric tanks (liquid oxygen), types of floating roof designs (lifter type is not), purposes of breather-type roofs (to provide expansion space for vapors), and maximum design pressures of API 650 and API 620 tanks (2.5 psi and 15 psi respectively).
