Sample Report
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
The tank was in-service at the time of this inspection. The mechanical integrity of the tank does NOT
appear to meet the requirements of API-653.
Shell The shell consists of six (6) courses and does NOT appear to be in a serviceable condition for
the following reasons:
1. Shell course weld alignment and spacing on upper shell courses on the south side, does not meet
API-650, section 3.1.5.3.b. (See drawing K0000-D-01, and Fig. 5 and 6)
Recommend radiographic weld inspection to determine weld integrity and course of action (if
any).
2. Penetration on west side of tank, on 1st-to-2nd shell course weld seam, has no reinforcing plate
per API-650, section 3.7.2. (See P2 on drawing K0000-D-01, and Fig. 2)
Recommend installing reinforcing plate per API-650
3. Multiple shell inserts with non-rounded corners does not meet API-653, section 9.2 and table
9.1. (See drawing K0000-D-01 and Fig. 9 and 10)
Recommend radiographic weld inspection to determine weld integrity and course of action (if
any).
RECOMMENDATIONS
