tanks, the hydrostatic test pressure shall mean the pressure specified 
in Sec. 38.25-1(d), while the maximum allowable pressure shall mean the

    (b) All tank inlet and outlet connections, except safety relief 
valves, liquid level gaging devices, and pressure gages, shall be 
labeled to designate whether they terminate in the vapor or liquid 
space. Labels of corrosion-resistant material may be attached to valves.
    (c) All tank markings shall be permanently and legibly stamped in a 
readily visible position, and shall not be obscured by painting. If the 
tanks are lagged, the markings attached to the tank proper shall be 
duplicated on a corrosion-resistant plate secured to the outside jacket 
of the lagging.
