COLD WELDING METHODS IN ACCORDANCE WITH API STANDARDS
The "Chapter 10.3 - Special Repair Methods" of the "API Recommended Practice 575 - Inspections Practices for Atmospheric and Low-Pressure Storage Tanks" states that adhesive-to-steel epoxies may be used for repairs. In addition, this material must tolerate the tank's conditions, such as mechanical and chemical stresses, and make a tight bond with the steel plate.
The "Chapter 10.3 - Special Repair Methods" also states that these materials can provide valuable corrosion protection for storage tank roofs.
