H.6 Fabrication, Erection, Welding, Inspection, and Testing © 61 The applicable fabrication, erection, welding, inspection, and testing requirements ofthis Standard shall be met. Upon the start of internal floating roof installation, or concurrent with assembly within a tank under construction, the tank (interior shell and vertical components) shall be inspected by the floating roof erector, unless otherwise specified. The purpose of this inspection shall be to confirm plumbness of ll interior components, along with roundness and the condition ofthe shell (forthe presence of damage, projections, or obstructions) to verify that the floating roof and seals will operate properly. Any defects, projections, obstructions or tank tolerance limits (exceeding those defined in 75 ofthis Standard), which would inhibit proper internal floating roof and seal operation, that are identifiod by the intemal floating roof erector shall be reported tothe Purchaser.
