PetersonC Text Box The maximum measure out-of-plane deflection is 1.128 inches and maximum allowable deflection is 0.211 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.

Where:
H = The height above the bottom of the course of study to the maximum liquid level height of the product, in ft. For corroded or pitted areas, H = the height from the bottom of the corroded or pitted area to the maximum liquid level height of the product, in ft.
tmin = The calculated minimum acceptable shell thickness, in inch (cannot be less than
0.10 inch for any course). The minimum acceptable shell thickness allowed by API-653 and STI-SP001 for tank size, in inch .
D = Nominal diameter of tank, in ft.
G = Highest specific gravity of the contents (including test water if tank will, or may, be tested in the future).
S = Maximum allowable stress, in psi. For welded tanks; use the smaller of 0.80Y of 0.429T for bottom and second course or the smaller of 0.88Y or 0.472T for all other courses. For riveted tanks; S = 21000 psi. For STI Tank Inspections S = 26000 psi (E = 1)
Y = Specified minimum yield strength of the plate, in psi; use 30000 psi if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).
T = The smaller of the specified minimum tensile strength of the plate or 80000 psi; use 55000 psi if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).
E = Original joint efficiency for the tank. For welded tanks; use API-653, Table 2-1 ; use E =
1.0 when evaluating the retirement thickness in a corroded plate, when away from welds or joints by at least the greater of one inch or twice the plate thickness. For riveted tanks; use E = 1.0 for shell plates greater than 1 inch away from rivets; use the value of E from API- 653 Table 2-1 when within 1 inch of rivets. For STI Tank Inspections E = 1 where S = 26000 psi.

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 November 2016 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; March 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 from the previous in-service inspection report dated November
2016.
d. Interval: February 2031

Tank In-Service Inspection Checklist
Item Completed
X
C.1.1 Foundation
Measure foundation levelness and bottom elevations (see Appendix A for extent of measurements). X
C.1.1.1 Concrete Ring a Inspect for broken concrete, spalling, and cracks, particularly under backup bars used in welding butt-welded annular rings under the shell.
X b Inspect drain openings in ring, back of water draw basins and top surface of ring for indications of bottom leakage.
X c Inspect for cavities under foundation and vegetation against bottom of tank. X d Check that runoff rainwater from the shell drains away from tank. X e Check for settlement around perimeter of tank. X
C.1.1.2 Asphalt X a Check for settling of tank into asphalt base which would direct runoff rain water under the tank instead of away from it.
N/A b Look for areas where leaching of oil has left rock filler exposed, which indicates hydrocarbon leakage. N/A
C.1.1.3 Oiled Dirt or Sand
Check for settlement into the base which would direct runoff rain water under the tank rather than away from it.
N/A
C.1.1.4 Rock a Presence of crushed rock under the steel bottom usually results in severe underside corrosion. Make a note to do additional bottom plate examination (ultrasonic, hammer testing, or turning of coupons) when the tank is out of service.
N/A
C.1.1.5 Site Drainage a Check site for drainage away from the tank and associated piping and manifolds. X b Check operating condition of the dike drains. X
C.1.1.6 Housekeeping
Inspect the area for buildup of trash, vegetation, and other inflammables buildup. X
C.1.1.7 Cathodic Protection a Review cathodic protection potential readings. X
C.1.2 Shells
C.1.2.1 External Visual Inspection a Visually inspect for paint failures, pitting, and corrosion. X b Clean off the bottom angle area and inspect for corrosion and thinning on plate and weld. X c Inspect the bottom-to-foundation seal, if any. X
C.1.2.2 Internal (Floating Roof Tank)
Visually inspect for grooving, corrosion, pitting, and coating failures. X
C.1.2.3 Riveted Shell Inspection a Inspect external surface for rivet and seam leaks. N/A b Locate leaks by sketch or photo (location will be lost when shell is abrasive cleaned for painting). N/A c
Inspect rivets for corrosion loss and wear.
