3.0 INSPECTION RESULTS, IN-SERVICE
The following results are the summarization of a field checklist
that was utilized during the inspection of vessel 0480

3.1 Foundation:
3.1.1 The vessel rests in two concrete foundation support saddles with
rubber liners in between the tank and saddles.

3.1.2 The concrete saddles are in satisfactory condition.

3.2 Shell:
3.2.1 The shell is carbon steel with 8 to 15 mil epoxy external coating and is
un-insulated.

3.2.2 The external surface profiles of the shell appear to be smooth and
clean and in satisfactory mechanical condition. The shell coating is in
satisfactory condition.

3.2.3 The shell nozzle penetration welds appeared to be in satisfactory


condition.

3.3 Head(s):
3.3.1 The West and East heads are carbon steel with 8 to 15 mil epoxy
external coating and are un-insulated. The West and East heads have a
hemispherical design.

3.3.2 The external surface profiles of the West and East heads appear to be
smooth and clean and in satisfactory mechanical condition. The coating on
both heads is in satisfactory condition.

3.3.3 The nozzle penetration welds through the both heads appeared to be in
satisfactory condition.

3.4 Appurtenances:
3.4.1 The shell and head nozzles appear to be clean and in satisfactory
mechanical condition. There are areas scattered throughout the relief valve
vent piping with coating failure and surface oxidation.

3.4.2 The four (4) pressure relief valves do not have data tags attached
specifying certification date or set pressure.

3.4.3 The flange on shell nozzle K (24" Manway) has visible corrosion in the

5.0 ULTRASONIC THICKNESS (UT) MEASUREMENTS

5.1 Results Summary:


5.1.1 UT measurement of accessible vessel components (shell and heads)
found no significant material loss due to internal corrosion of the components.
All of the vessel component thicknesses were nominal and acceptable for
ASME calculations for minimum required thicknesses for internal pressure.

5.1.2 Calculations of all evaluated components resulted in greater than 20


years remaining life.

5.2 Recommendations:
5.2.1 Next UT inspection of the vessel may be scheduled in 10 years in
accordance with maximum allowable intervals recommended by API-510.
