Tank 964 is provided a double bottom with leak detection ports between the original and secondary tank bottom. Leak detection ports are provided valves left in the normally closed position. The original tank bottom rests on a concrete ring wall foundation. The foundation-to-walkway joint is not provided with sealant.
A settlement evaluation was performed during the inspection. The settlement evaluation was unsatisfactory based on data collected, however, no visual signs of excessive shell stress or settlement were observed. Settlement should be monitored during future inspections.
See Appendix A for settlement results.
3. CATHODIC PROTECTION
The tank is equipped with an ICCP system for protecting the tank bottom from soil-side corrosion.
According to the previous CP survey report dated July 2018, the tank is receiving adequate CP based on
NACE International -850 millivolt polarized potential criteria.
4. TANK SHELL
The tank shell is equipped with four (4) fully coated, butt-welded, steel courses. Shell plates were examined using ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) and visual testing (VT) methods. Nine (9) UTT measurements were taken on each plate of the 1st shell course. Ten (10) UTT measurements were taken on each of the 2nd through 4th shell courses using the spiral staircase for access. UTT measurements indicated no significant signs of metal loss on shell plates.
Two (2) insert plates on Tank 964 are provided with square corners. Square corners should be avoided as they are potential stress risers. No visual sign of stress cracking was observed at the time of inspection.
Deformations were observed adjacent to insert plates on the upper shell courses. For the deformations on the spiral staircase, none of the deformations were determined to be out of API allowable tolerances.
The sizes and tolerances for the inaccessible deformation were not determined. Each deformation should be monitored in future inspections.
Refer to Drawing A-1 in Appendix A for shell layout and UTT readings at accessible deformations and
Table 1 for tank shell UTT measurements.
5. FIXED ROOF
The tank fixed roof was examined using UTT and VT methods. Five (5) UTT measurements were taken on each fixed roof plate. UTT measurements indicated no significant signs of metal loss on fixed roof plates. The tank fixed roof is provided a ladder to access the internal floating roof (IFR). Insect nests were observed on the ladder.
Refer to Drawing A-2 in Appendix A for roof layout and Table 2 for fixed roof plate UTT measurements.

PetersonC Text Box The maximum measure out-of-plane deflection is .75 inches and maximum allowable deflection is 0.376 inches; therefore, the tank is not within API 653 acceptable limits. The allowable deflection of the tank is not accurately represented by the above analysis due to the small size of the tank which results in a small arc length. No visual settlement was identified during the inspection. It is recommended to monitor the tank settlement during future inspections.

Settlement points were measured clockwise from MW1.
The listed data should be used in future API inspections for comparison.
NEXT INSPECTION
The interval between tank inspections (both internal and external) should be determined by the tank service history.
Inspection intervals can be adjusted based on known corrosion rates. Corrosion rates can only be determined when a comparison is made between UTT measurements taken over an interval of time. In this case, corrosion rates were determined using thicknesses provided by the internal inspection report dated July 2015 and UTT measurements taken during this inspection. Listed below are recommended inspection intervals:
1. Routine In-service Inspection
Facility personnel shall perform a visual inspection of the tank exterior surfaces and associated piping. Gross defects, leaks, shell distortions, signs of settlement, and corrosion should all be monitored along with the foundation condition (including tank chime-to-foundation joint), coating, and appurtenances.
a. Interval: Monthly
2. External Visual Inspection
Formal visual external inspection shall be performed by an API certified inspector every five (5) years or RCA/4N years (where RCA is the difference between the measured shell thickness and the minimum required thickness and
N is the shell corrosion rate), whichever is less. Based on the review of shell thickness measurements, the 5-year interval will govern the next external visual inspection. This inspection includes inspection requirements listed in a routine in-service inspection as well as a visual inspection of the tank grounding system.
b. Interval: Five (5) years; March 2025
3. External Visual Inspection with Ultrasonic Thickness Testing
An API certified inspector with the assistance of an NDT examiner shall perform this inspection. UTT measurements shall be taken to verify thickness of the tank shell and associated components. Obtained UTT measurements are used to determine corrosion rates and remaining life of the tank shell. UTT measurements of shell plates can be performed with the tank in service and scheduled at a maximum interval of fifteen (15) years or RCA/2N, whichever is less.
Based on shell thickness measurements and corrosion rates, the recommended interval for this inspection is fifteen
(15) years.
c. Interval: Fifteen (15) years 2035
4. Internal Inspection
An API certified inspector with the assistance of an NDT examiner shall perform this inspection. This inspection consists of verifying that the tank bottom is not severely corroded and/or leaking, identifying and evaluation tank bottom settlement, and inspection requirements listed in both external visual inspections. The next out-of-service
API 653 inspection is based on recommendations made in the report dated July 2015 for tank 964.

C.1.4 Roofs
C.1.4.1 Deck Plate Internal Corrosion
For safety, before accessing the roof, check with ultrasonic instrument or lightly use a ball peen hammer to test the deck plate near the edge of the roof for thinning. (Corrosion normally attacks the deck plate at the edge of a fixed roof and at the rafters in the center of the roof first.)
C.1.4.2 Deck Plate External Corrosion
Visually inspect for paint failure, holes, pitting, and corrosion product on the roof deck. X
C.1.4.3 Roof Deck Drainage
Look for indication of standing water. (Significant sagging of fixed roof deck indicates potential rafter failure. Large standing water areas on a floating roof indicate inadequate drainage design or, if to one side, a nonlevel roof with possible leaking pontoons.)

C.1.4.4 Level of Floating Roof a
At several locations, measure distance from roof rim to a horizontal weld seam above the roof. A variance in the readings indicates a nonlevel roof with possible shell out-of-round, out-of-plumb, leaking pontoons, or hang-up. On small diameter tanks, an unlevel condition can indicate unequal loading at that level.
N/A
C.1.4.5 Gas Test Internal Floating Roof a Test for explosive gas on top of the internal floating roof. Readings could indicate a leaking roof, leaking seal system, or inadequate ventilation of the area above the internal floating roof.
N/A
C.1.4.6 Roof Insulation a Visually inspect for cracks or leaks in the insulation weather coat where runoff rain water could penetrate the insulation.
N/A b Inspect for wet insulation under the weather coat. N/A c Remove small test sections of insulation and check roof deck for corrosion and holes near the edge of the insulated area.
N/A
C.1.4.7 Floating Roof Seal Systems a Inspect the condition of the seal, measure and record maximum rim spaces and seal-to-shell gaps around the full roof circumference at the level of inspection.
NOTE Inspection of the seal and measurement of the rim spaces and seal-to-shell gaps at more than one level may be necessary to more fully determine if any problems exist at other levels of tank operation).
b Measure and record annular space at 30-ft spacing (minimum of four quadrants) around roof and record. Measurements should be taken in directly opposite pairs.
N/A
1) _______ _______ Opposite pair 1. N/A
2) _______ _______ Opposite pair 2. N/A c Check if seal fabric on primary shoe seals is pulling shoes away from shell (fabric not wide enough). N/A d Inspect fabric for deterioration, holes, tears, and cracks. N/A e Inspect visible metallic parts for corrosion and wear. N/A f Inspect for openings in seals that would permit vapor emissions. N/A g Inspect for protruding bolt or rivet heads against the shell. N/A h Pull both primary and secondary seal systems back all around the shell to check their operation. N/A i Inspect secondary seals for signs of buckling or indications that their angle with the shell is too shallow.
N/A j Inspect wedge-type wiper seals for flexibility, resilience, cracks, and tears. N/A
