System MPI# 500 and 501 standards are for interior carbon-steel fuel tanks, similar to MIL-PRF-4556, “Coating Kit, Epoxy, for Interior of Steel Fuel Tanks,” which was canceled in 2011;
-
Standard MPI# 505 is for interior welded fuel tanks;
-
Standard MPI# 510 is for exterior welded fuel tanks; and
-
System MPI# 515 and 516 is designed for waterfront steel structures.
The innovative MPI 500 Series Standards are to serve in numerous aspects of work involving specialized Department of Defense petroleum, oils and lubricant facilities. With initial testing now complete, two of the six standards are available for purchase on the MPI Store.
