API/EI Research Report 545-A, Verification of Lightning Protection Requirements for Aboveground Hydrocarbon Storage Tanks, First Edition, collates a number of research reports investigating the lightning phenomena and the adequacy of lightning protection requirements on above ground hydrocarbon storage tanks. These are as follows:

  • review of lightning phenomena and the interaction with above ground storage tanks,
  • review of tank base earthing and test current recommendations,
  • lightning tests to tank shell/shunt samples,
  • visits to oil refinery A and B,
  • review of burn-through and hot-spot effects on metallic tank skins from lightning strikes,
