RE: API Storage Tanks

That application and terminology are used more for API-12F tanks.  API-650 tanks will normally have a gauge hatch if needed for sampling, and a separate vent nozzle and/or a separate emergency vent manway or nozzle.

RE: API Storage Tanks

"Thief hatch" & "gauge hatch" are one in the same, we use both terminologies in the oil fields I work in ...just depends on who you're talking too.
