Grinding weld bead after repair steel tank
Grinding weld bead after repair steel tank
(OP)
After sandblasting, I found the defect as small hole of roof plate. Should we grind the weld bead to smooth after welding at the hole? I understand that it is not mentioned in API 653. Please comment.





RE: Grinding weld bead after repair steel tank
So check first.
We would not grind the weld smooth. This was done so X-ray crews could do their inspection.
You could call CBI Na-con in Houston, TX. They could tell you.
