RP200是根据环境因素和新兴技术而编写和修订的，这些因素促使该行业使用地上储罐储存汽车燃料。本文件旨在为加油站、码头和其他加油站安装地上存储系统的首选实践和程序提供简明参考。本推荐规程包含正确地安装地上储罐的所有阶段的章节和图纸，包括现场规划、基础、支撑和锚固； 堤坝；拱顶和特殊围墙；坦克；泵和阀门；填充物、仪表和通风口；管道和配件；防腐；环境保护；电气安装；测试和检查；以及文件、维护和培训。三个附录描述了堤坝、通风和消防规范要求的尺寸计算。还包括一份供参考的文件附录。

RP200 was written and revised in response to the environmental considerations and emerging technology that have prompted the industry to use aboveground tanks to store motor-vehicle fuel. The purpose of the document is to provide a concise reference to preferred practices and procedures for the installation of aboveground storage systems at service stations, marinas and other fueling sites. This recommended practice contains chapters and drawings on all phases of proper aboveground tank installation, including site planning, foundations, support and anchorage; dikes; vaults and special enclosures; tanks; pumps and valves; fills, gauges and vents; piping and fittings; corrosion protection; environmental protection; electrical installation; testing and inspection; and documentation, maintenance, and training. Three appendices describe size calculations for dikes, venting, and fire code requirements. An appendix of documents used for reference is also included.
