"AST" = "Above Ground Storage Tank"?
If that's the case- that is a "change of service" per API-653.
The increased temperature gives you lower allowable stresses and can cause some fatigue issues addressed to some extent in the API-650 standard.
It may have corrosion implications that aren't addressed in API-650.
It has the potential to require larger vents, depending on the operation.
It may require different gaskets, vents, etc., just due to the temperature.
It may require insulation, if not already insulated- OSHA personnel protection, for example, or just for economy.
It may affect foundation performance.
More specific question may get you better answers.
Appreciate the feed back. Very helpful.
Suspect operations will go a head with temp upgrade. I have discussed the related concerns about this.
Going forward, any recommendation on how to monitor or quantify affects on auxiliary systems ie piping, supports etc.
