whichever pressure is smaller. A solution film shall be applied to all joints in the
tank wall above the high liquid (capacity) design level. If any leaks appear, the
defects shall be removed and rewelded, and the applicable preliminary tightness
test specified shall be repeated.
7.7.3.1. Tanks that have not been designed to be filled with liquid to as test level higher
their specified capacity level shall be subject of a combination hydrostatic-
pneumatic pressure test in accordance with the following.
7.7.3.2. After the preliminary tightness test specified in 7.7.2. have been completed, the
pressure-vacuum relief valve or valves shall be blinded off. With the top vented
to the atmosphere to prevent accumulation of pressure, the tank shall be filled
with water to its high liquid (capacity) design level. Tank anchor retainers shall
be adjusted to a uniform tightness after the tank is filled with water. If the
pressure-vacuum valve or valves are not available at the time of the test, the
tank connections may be blinded off and the test procedure continued by
agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. With the vents at the
top of the tank closed, air shall be injected slowly into the top of the tank until the
pressure in the vapor space is about one-half the pressure Pg, for which this
space is designed. The air pressure shall be increased slowly until the pressure
in the vapor space is 1.25 times the pressure Pg for which the space is
designed.
7.7.3.3. An air test introduces some hazard. In view of the large amount of air that will be
present in the tank during this test, no one should be permitted to go near the
tank while pressure is being applied for the first time during the test. While the
pressure in the tank exceeds the pressure for which the vapor space is
designed, the inspection should be made at a reasonable distance from the tank
using field glasses as required for close-up observation of particular areas.
7.7.3.4. As the pressure is being increased, the tank shall be inspected for sings of
distress. The maximum test pressure of 1.25 times the vapor space design
pressure shall be held for at least one hour, after which the pressure shall be
released slowly and the blinds shall be removed from the pressure-vacuum relief
valves. The operation of the relief valves shall be checked by injecting air into
the top of the tank until the pressure in the vapor space equals the pressure Pg,
for which this space is designed, at which time the relief valves shall start to
release air.
7.7.3.5. This latter pressure shall be held for a sufficient period of time to permit a close
visual examination of all joints in the walls of the tank and of all welding around
manways, nozzles, and other connection. As part of this examination, a solution

film shall be applied to all of the welding involved above the high liquid (capacity)
design level for which the tank is designed.
7.7.4.1. Following the preliminary test called it in 7.7.2, the pressure-vacuum relief valve
or valves shall be blinded off; with the top of the tank vented to the atmosphere,
the tank shall be filled with water to the top of the roof while allowing all air to
escape to prevent the accumulation of pressure. If the pressure-vacuum valve or
valves are not available at the time of the test, the tank connections may be
blinded off and the test procedure continued by agreement between the
purchaser and the manufacturer. The vents used during water filling of the tank
shall then be closed, and the pressure in the tank shall be increased slowly until
the hydrostatic pressure under the topmost point in the roof is 1.25 times the
pressure Pg, which the vapor space is designed withstand when in operation
with the tank filled to its specified high liquid (capacity) level.
7.7.4.2. This test procedure shall be held for at least one hour. The hydrostatic pressure
under the topmost point in the roof shall then be reduces to the pressure Pg, for
which the vapor space is designed and shall be held at this level for a sufficient
time to permit close visual inspection of all joints in the walls of the tank and all
welding around manways, nozzles and other connections.
7.7.4.3. The tank shall then be vented to atmosphere, the water level shall be lowered
below the inlets to the pressure-relief valves, and the blinds shall be removed
from the relief valves. The operation of the relief valves shall be checked by
injecting air into the top of the tank until the pressure in the vapor space equals
the pressure Pg, for which this space is designed, at which time the relief valves
shall start to release air.
7.7.5.1. Upon completion of all the foregoing test, the pressure in the tank shall be
released and a thorough visual inspection shall be made of both the inside and
outside of the tank, giving particular attention to all internal ties, braces, trusses,
and their attachments to the wall of the tank.
7.8.1. In the case of the test fail due to leakage or another cause, the ICC has to
proceed in accordance with the document VNG-T-Q-010, Used and disposition
of non conforming products.
7.8.2. Thereafter the test is made, the QCI shall be indicated the status of

7.7.5.3.2 When a section or sections of the circumference, where the length between
the ends of the outermost sections span 240 or more deg., is radiographed
using one or more film holders. Additional film locations might be required to
obtain necessary penetrameter spacing.
7.7.5.4. For spherical components where the source is placed on the axis of the
component for a single exposure, at least three penetrameters with one
placed at each end of the span of the circumference being radiographed and
one at the center of the radiographed span of the circumference radiographed
in the approximate center of the span, are required under the following
conditions:
7.7.5.4.1 When a section of a circumference the length of which is greater than 120
deg and less than 240 deg is radiographed using just one film holder.
7.7.5.4.2 When a section or sections of a circumference where the lengths between the
ends of the outermost sections span less than 240 deg is radiographed using
more than one film holder or,
7.7.5.5. Where other welds are simultaneously radiographed with the circumferential
weld, one additional penetrameter shall be placed on each other weld.
For welds, a shim of material radiographically similar to the weld metal shall be
placed between the part and the penetrameter, if needed, so that the
radiographic density throughout the area of interest is no more than minus 15 %
from (lighter than) the radiographic density through the penetrameter.
The shim dimensions shall exceed the penetrameter dimensions such that the
outline of at least three sides of the penetrameter image shall be visible in the
radiograph.
The weld ripples or weld surfaces irregularities on both the inside (where
accessible) and outside shall be removed by any suitable process to such a
degree that the resulting radiographic image due to any surface irregularities
cannot mask or be confused with the image of any discontinuity.
The finished surface of all butt-weld joints might be flush with the base material
or may have reasonably uniform crowns, with reinforcement not to exceed that
specified in the referencing code section.

7.12.1. The transmitted film density through the radiographic image of the body of the
appropriate hole penetrameter or adjacent to the wire of a wire penetrameter
and the area of interest shall be 1.8 minimum for single film viewing for
radiographs made with an X-ray source and 2.0 viewing for radiographs made
with gamma ray source. For composite viewing of multiple film exposures each
film of the composite set shall have a minimum density of 1.3. The maximum
density shall be 4.0 for either single or composite viewing. A tolerance of 0.05 in
density is allowed for variations between densitometer readings.
7.12.2. If the density of the radiograph anywhere through the area of interest varies by
more than minus 15% or plus 30% from the density through the body of the hole
penetrameter or adjacent to the designated wire of a wire penetrameter, within
the minimum/maximum allowable density ranges according to 4.13.1. then an
additional penetrameter shall be used for each exceptional area or areas and
the radiograph is retaken.
Such blemishes include, but are not limited to: fogging, streaks, watermarks,
chemical stains, scratches, finger marks, crimps, dirtiness, static marks,
smudges, or tears and false indications due to defective screens.
