Corrosion rates were determined using assumed nominal thicknesses and UTT measurements taken during this inspection.
The fixed roof is provided with plate nominal thicknesses of 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch. Calculations were conducted on 3/16-inch plates, as they are the limiting factor in the fixed roof remaining life.
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 assumed nominal thicknesses 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; April 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; April 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 OOS API 653 inspection is based on recommendations from the previous OOS inspection report dated March 2015.
d. Interval: Ten (10) years; March 2025
