ASME Code does not address this tolerance

Manufacturer has to declare to what tolerance does he produce the products. There should be some company inhouse standards for all dimensions which are not covered by code.

Try ASME STS-1 which we use to fabricate our vertical stacks.

Verticality is affecting instability (buckling).
It is up to the designer to fix this tolerance in accordance with the allowance taken during the calculation.
If the vessel is already installed and verticality is not perfect, it has to be calculated again using the actual and not the ideal geometry.

This is a requirement resulting from:
ASME BPVC Section VIII- Div. 1: U-2(a), U-5, UG-22
or
ASME BPBV Section VIII-Div. 2: Table 4.1.1

That's a bit high. It shd be mentioned as subject to max of 10mm or similar

10mm per mtr. Is a common criteria regarding structures..but up to a maxm. Of 50mm only.

Please see it at API 650 for Welded Tanks for oil Storage as a guia. Numeral 7.5 Dimensional Tolerances.
Plumbness from the top to bottom 1/200 of the total tank height.
 7.5.3 Roundness  and  7.5.4 Local Deviation.

Normally, PIPs are referred as guidelines for verticality of pressure vessals.

For structures alone, AWS D.1 has it in 5.23, if the codes do not conflict.

Sir,

Pls refer Api650 cl.7.5.2 for plumbness of tanks. This may be helpful to you.

Hi,
Please find below the tolerance.(According to Pressure vessel hand book).

 
     
Deviation from
verticality. 
1. for vessel up to 9 meters. overall length <±13 mm.
2. for vessel over 9 meters. overall length<±3 mm/300 mm. or max.38 mm.
 
 
Thanks & Regards,

Gents,
This info is available from Total GS for PVV:

5.6 Deflection
Lateral deflection of vertical vessels under the effect of dynamic loading shall not exceed the
following:
• Columns with internal trays:
300 / H
• Other vessels:
200 / H
Where H = Total height of the vessel and support.
