(OP)
Any idea what code would an vertical, above ground, 10' dia x 30' tall chrorine tank under 3 psi be designed & inspected to?
Thanks in advance for comments and advice,

Why are you storing chlorine under such low pressure in an large expensive tank ?
Why not compress it and store it in a smaller, less expensive vessel ?

No exotic metals, just 1/2" thk carbon plate with flate top and flat bottom reinforced top & bottom wiht I-beams.
All CJP welds except for flat bottom to shell wall.
Question: under API 620, would need RT but would hydro be required? That would be ALOT of H2O!
Thanks for any input...

This is starting to sound a lot like a disaster....
Are you an engineer ? More importantly; do you work for an MBA ?
Has there been any HAZOP of this new process installation been done ?
Will we be reading about your engineering triumphs and subsequent loss of life on this website ?

In what country will this new tank be located ?

I am a welding & fabrication inspector, not an engineer, just wanting some feedback and information on codes dealing with storage tanks.
Thank you for your concern, I personally am not designing the vessel.
RE: What Code would 3 psi Chorine Tank fall under?
Surely the designer would specify the code so I would ask him. If you get a blank stare then I would dig a bit deeper but API-620 or 650's probably a good place to start in terms of fabrication standards and inspection requirements.
