the Steel Tank Institute came back with 3 possibilities; A -635 with a V content of .08 to .18 A - 569 with no V content ASTN A36 with no specified V content I will continue to try and research the tank manufacturer if records are available. My question n ow would be; if it is A...

the 'steel tank institute' says it is likely astm 36 however they do not have specific info for older tanks. PDC

Thanks again! I've contacted the steel tank institute but as yet have had no reply re the steel type but it is likely the ASTM 36 you cite with a V content range of .15 to .25%. Assuming that, would it be possible to determine the concentration of V in the rust. note * the tank was only...

I am trying to research the type of steel in used for the tank however it was installed in the 50's and removed in the 90's ( I believe due to regulations requiring underground at that time tanks be upgraded to have corrosion resistance etc) but in any case the steel would be a normal type of...

based on 2nd hand info I'm told that soil from around a 50's to 80's storage tank with some evidence of surface rust would also contain vanadium as a part of the steel used to make the tank and therefore the soil removed from around the rusty (just surface rust) tank would / shouldscontain...

would one expect to find vanadium in the 'surface rust' collected from an underground gasoline storage tank (from gas station). (tank used prior to 1990's when new regulations required corrosion resistance on tanks) Further, if there was vanadium then what percent of the rust 'could it'...
