A. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
1. API 653 Inspection An In-Service API 653 inspection was performed 6 October 2020 on Tank 10241. Results of this inspection identified recommended repairs and upgrades required to comply with API 650/653, UFC 3-460-01, 3-460-03, AW 78-24-27 and industry standards.
2. Site Information Seymour Johnson AFB was established five months after the United States entered World War II when the War Department approved the establishment of a technical school two miles southeast of Goldsboro. Seymour Johnson Field was activated on June 12, 1942, as Headquarters, Technical School, Army Air Forces Technical Training Command. The base is named in honor of U.S. Navy Lt.
Seymour A. Johnson, a native of Goldsboro. Johnson, a test pilot, was killed in an aircraft crash near Norbeck, Md., March 5, 1941.
B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Tank Construction Tank 10241 is located at Seymore Johnson AFB, NC and is a welded, steel, vertical aboveground jet fuel (Jet-A) storage tank. The tank was built per API 650 in 2006 and the manufacturer is Fisher Tank Co. Tank 10241 is 43’ 6” in diameter and has a maximum liquid level of 36’ high per the tank label. There is a nameplate on the tank.
2. Tank Foundation The tank is supported on a concrete ringwall. The ringwall does have underside leak detection “telltales” in its perimeter. The tank is anchored to the ringwall. The bottom-to-ringwall seal is cracked and failing. A settlement evaluation was performed during the inspection. No signs of settlement were noted. See Appendix A for settlement results.
3. Tank Bottom The tank bottom is of cone-down construction with a 43’ 6” diameter. The tank bottom does have the standard 2” chime extension. There are notches cut at all anchor bolt locations. See picture E.11
4. Tank Shell The tank shell is equipped with (5) 8’, and (1) 2’ butt-welded steel shell courses. Shell plates were examined using VT methods. No peaking or banding was noted at this time.
5. Tank Appurtenances
a. Internal Floating Roof
Full contact with double wiper seal
b. Geodesic Dome Roof
N/A
c. Gauging The tank is provided with an ENRAF gauging system, 8” gauging hatch for manual gauging.
The tank has a Varec manual gauging system that can be read from the ground.
d. Level Alarms
The tank is provided with independent shell mounted High-Level alarm (HLA), High-High level alarm (HHLA), and an independent low level alarm (LLA).
e. Stairs and Platforms The tank is provided with a spiral staircase with an upper platform for roof access as well as high level alarm maintenance and testing.
f. Grounding and Bonding The tank is equipped with eight (8) grounding lugs attached to the tank.
6. Tank Coating The exterior coating of the shell is in satisfactory condition with minor coating failure at this time.
7. Tank Piping System All nozzles are adequately reinforced. The tank has a 1" Water Draw, 4” Product Recovery, 8" Receipt, 16" Product Issue. All piping with repads have weep holes that are in satisfactory condition.
8. Fire Protection System Fire hydrant and portable foam system.
9. Secondary Containment Tank 10241 is located within a concrete containment dike. A leak test was performed on the containment dike drainage system. The leak test revealed that the drainage system is liquid-tight with no indications of seepage. Secondary containment exceeds the requirements of UFC 3-460-01.

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 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).
X 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

X c Check for corrosion and plugging on thief and gauge hatch cover. X d Where sample hatch is used to reel gauge stock level, check for marker and tab stating hold-off distance. X e Check for reinforcing pad where sample hatch pipe penetrates the roof deck. X
Completed
X f On floating roof sample hatch and recoil systems, inspect operation of recoil reel and condition of rope. N/A g Test operation of system. N/A h On ultra clean stocks such as JP4, check for presence and condition of protective coating or liner inside sample hatch (preventing rust from pipe getting into sample). N/A
C.1.5.2 Gauge Well a Inspect visible portion of the gauge well for thinning, size of slots, and cover condition. X b Check for a hold-off distance marker and tab with hold-off distance (legible). X c On floating roofs, inspect condition of roof guide for gauge well, particularly the condition of the rollers for grooving. N/A d If accessible, check the distance from the gauge well pipe to the tank shell at different levels. N/A e If tank has a gauge well washer, check valve for leakage and for presence of a bull plug or blind flange. N/A
C.1.5.3 Fixed Roof Scaffold Support
Inspect scaffold support for corrosion, wear, and structural soundness. X C.1.5.4 Autogauge: Inspection Hatch and Guides (Fixed Roof) a Check the hatch for corrosion and missing bolts. X b Look for corrosion on the tape guide’s and float guide’s wire anchors. X
C.1.5.5 Autogauge: Float Well Cover a Inspect for corrosion. N/A b Check tape cable for wear or fraying caused by rubbing on the cover. N/A
C.1.5.6 Sample Hatch (Internal Floating Roof) a Check overall conditions. N/A b When equipped with a fabric seal, check for automatic sealing after sampling. N/A c When equipped with a recoil reel opening device, check for proper operations. N/A
C.1.5.7 Roof-mounted Vents (Internal Floating Roof)
Check condition of screens, locking and pivot pins. N/A C.1.5.8 Gauging Platform Drip Ring a On fixed roof tanks with drip rings under the gauging platform or sampling area, inspect for plugged drain return to the tank. N/A
