How do I get out of a hydro. No water access.

How do I get out of a hydro. No water access.

How do I get out of a hydro. No water access.

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

I live in South Australia and due to recent drought water is an extremely rare and far to valuable a resource to waste on a hydro test if not 100% necessary. I plan to jack a tank and replace annular plates. If say I use qualified welders, a good welding inspector, perform 100% mag particle NDT and vacumme box all welds would I not have enough information to determine that the repairs are sound?

1) What test could I do to 100% prove the repairs are good other than a hydro
2) What would I need to do to satisfy API 653
3) Has anyone heard of such exceptions in the past.

Thanks.

RE: How do I get out of a hydro. No water access.

Clause 12.3.2 of API 653 may provide the answer that you seek. You will need to confirm all appropriate requirements have been met.
