If you work in pipelines, underground storage tanks, or submarine cables, you’ve likely come across the reference: .
This document provides industry-proven practices for mitigating external corrosion on the bottoms of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), underground storage tanks (USTs), and other submerged metallic structures.
Take the official step: Purchase directly from AMPP, store the PDF in your document control system, and ensure every CP technician uses the same verified version. Your tanks—and your career—will be protected.
NACE RP 0285 was first issued in 1985 and has since become the industry benchmark for cathodic protection (CP) of underground storage tanks (USTs). While regulations like US EPA 40 CFR part 280 mandate corrosion protection, RP 0285 provides the technical "how-to" for achieving that protection.
