Shorter Nozzle than API 650 requirement

Shorter Nozzle than API 650 requirement

Shorter Nozzle than API 650 requirement

(OP)
Hi Folks,
We have hydro tested an API 650 tank and now thinking of cutting a nozzle length for shipping purpose, Is there a way we can extend it back to original length later on without a hydro test again.
Relevant clause in API 650 is
Per API 650 section 7.3.5, "after completion of the hydro-test, only non-structural small attachments may be welded to the tank in accordance with 7.2.1.11."

Thanks for your thoughts.
