New type 80 storage containers have not been authorized since Dec. 31, 1947.

Container type may be increased by increments of 25. The minimum design pressure of containers must be 100% of the container type designations when constructed under 1949 or earlier editions of the ASME Code (Par. U-68 and U-69). The minimum design pressure of containers must be 125% of the container type designation when constructed under:
 
1. The 1949 ASME Code (Par. U-200 and U-201);
 
2. 1950, 1952, 1956, 1959, 1962, 1965, and 1968 (Division I) editions of the ASME Code; and
 
3. All editions of the API-ASME Code.
