Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction API 653 y Critical length (L)= 3.7 Dt2

D = Dia. Of the tank t2 = least minimum thickness of entire area, exclusive pitting. t1 = lowest average thickness Locate L we get tavg = t1

Minimum thickness for shell plate 2.6( H  1) DG SE Or 2.6 S H = height D = diameter of tank G = gravity S = maximum allowable stress E = original joint efficiency of tank

Safe working (4.3.2.1 e) t1 tmin + (Corrosion rate X Interval) t2 0.6 tmin + (Corrosion rate X Interval) Maximum allowable stress (S) Bottom & second shell = 0.80y or 0.429 T Other course = 0.88y or 0.427 T

HYDROSTATICALY TEST - 4.3.3.2 Ht = ((StETmin / 2.6 D) +1) Or = StETmin / 2.6 D

Minimum acceptable bottom thickness MRT = (Minimum of RTbc or RTip) Or (St Pt + U Pr)

MRT = minimum remaining thickness at the end of interval Or Or = in-service interval of operation RTbc = minimum remaining thickness from bottom side corrosion after repairs; RTip = minimum remaining thickness from internal corrosion after repairs; StPr = maximum rate of corrosion not repaired on the top side. StPr = 0 for coated areas of the bottom. UPr = maximum rate of corrosion on the bottom side. UPr = 0 for cathodic protection.
