This is an existing API 650 tank which floating roof is to be replaced ; current API 653(3rdEd_Dec2001_Add3_Feb2008_Err_Apr2008) will govern the repair design and works ; when the API 653 addresses the API 650, what is the API 650 version to be considered ?
Is it the one which governed the tank...
API 650 does not provide any guideline regarding hydrotest minimum duration when for example hydrotest duration should depend on soil conditions and predictible settlement ; of course, I am not saying that hydrotest shall be used as a preloading mean but I observe that operation constraints lead...
