ADVANCE STORAGE TANK “API 650 & API 653” DESIGN, MAINTENANCE AND
INSPECTION ”
COURSE OVERVIEW
API 650 covers material, design, fabrication, erection, and testing
requirements for aboveground, vertical, cylindrical, closed- and open-top,
welded steel storage tanks in various sizes and capacities. API 650 applies to
tanks with internal pressures approximating atmospheric pressure, but higher
pressure is permitted when addtional requirements are met. This standard
applies only to tanks whose entire bottoms are uniformly supported and in
nonrefrigerated service with a maximum operating temperature of 90 C [200 F].
API 653 provides a standard for inspection, repair, alteration, evaulation
and reconstruction of tankage. The standard provides guidance on brittle
fracture considerations, maintenance procedures such as tank hot taps, evaluation
of out of roundness and more.
LEARNING APPROACH
This 4-days course which is designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance
on understanding
Code requirements. The instructor will be available following Each day’s session
to provide participants With further opportunity for discussion and consideration
of specific problems each session will be conducted in lectures, discussion and
Problem solving format. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:
·
Distinguish function of structural parts of and
fittings to conventional storage tanks
·
Explain design and operational aspects of storage
tanks
·
Set up inspection and maintenance programmes/
schedules
·
Differentiate maintenance methods (condition/repair)
·
Define the maintenance scope
·
How to read Inspection Reports properly
