33、 a tank bottom failure include theeconomic loss of product, cost of repair or replacing the tankbottom, and exposure to the cost of environmental remediationand potential damage or harm to adjacent lands that may giverise to adverse public relations or regulatory action. In addition,releases of petr

34、oleum products introduce potential fire orexplosive conditions.5.3 Owners and operators of ASTs or their agents can usethis guide to help choose methods of evaluating the hydraulicintegrity of their repaired or new tank bottoms. Selection of themethods should be based on regulatory and economic crit

35、eriathat include operational and cost/benefit considerations.5.4 This guide is intended for use by an individual experi-enced in repair and construction of ASTs in petroleum service.5.5 This guide is intended for use when repairing orbuilding ASTs and not intended for use beyond the construc-tion pr

36、ocess. This guide does not address suitability for use orimply useful life of an AST bottom.5.6 This guide is intended to be used in conjunction withand as a supplement to standards provided for hydraulicintegrity in API 650 and API 653.5.7 Procedures or methods included here may be supportedby a pr

37、eviously completed and documented performanceevaluation(s) that may lend itself as valuable results validation.6. Procedures6.1 This section provides information on established prac-tices described in API 650 and API 653. This section providesinformation on other practices listed in this guide as op

38、tionalduring a hydrostatic test, and which may be used to assess thehydraulic integrity of the tank bottom. Also identified in thissection are developing technologies that may be used inconjunction with a hydro-test, and may produce supplementalinformation about the hydraulic integrity of the comple

39、ted tankbottom construction. Some of the procedures identified hereare recognized to be voluntary when used for attaining anenhanced confidence in the hydraulic integrity for a repaired ornewly constructed tank bottom. For those owners and operatorsthat already have procedures for determining the su

40、itability ofthe tank bottom, this guide may serve as a reference whenpolicy warrants a change in their methods.6.2 Table 2 identifies tests and procedures, and notes whenapplication of those tests or procedures will provide the mostuseful information for assessing the hydraulic integrity of tankbott

41、om.6.3 Table 1 supplements the flow chart by listing theaccepted tests and procedures from API 650 and API 653,asareadily available reference, and also the developing technolo-gies. These API procedures, although established chiefly toassess tank structural soundness, are also useful for determin-in

42、g the hydraulic soundness of tank bottom construction whenit has been repaired or newly constructed. Information relatingto the developing technologies may be employed by an ownerand operator in order to obtain hydraulic integrity and othersupplementary information during a hydrostatic test.6.4 When

43、 using information provided in this section, con-siderations for schedule, operational, economic, and environ-mental characterizations should be reviewed. An owner andoperator or the owners and operators representative should befamiliar with conditions under which the tests and procedurescan be used

44、 and in the case of the developing technologies,API334 should be consulted.7. Evaluation Methods7.1 Procedures Prior to Filling and After Filling the Tank:7.1.1 The owner and operator of a tank, included bydefinition in this guide, will find that there are numerousprocedures associated with the dete

45、rmination of the hydraulicintegrity of a tank bottom. Of this total number of proceduresthere can be at least nine that are conducted prior to filling thetank and can be at least another four procedures that are appliedwith the tank either partially or completely filled to its safe fillheight.7.2 Ev

46、aluation of Floor Plate, Weld Construction Practices:7.2.1 Factors or conditions that contribute to tank bottomfailure are:7.2.1.1 Imperfections that may be included in steel plateduring manufacture.7.2.1.2 Gouging and tearing in steel plate can occur duringshipment and storage, and in moving the pl

47、ates into finalposition for welding. Such damage can be the result ofimproper use of equipment for moving the plate or thedragging of the plates across one another or other constructionmaterials and rocks. The gouges and tears can compromise thestructural integrity and intended service life of the t

48、ank.7.2.1.3 Irregular surface continuities or voids in the struc-tural fill or concrete foundation can be a significant conditioncausing a bottom to fail and leak. The voids and projectionscreated by the sub-floor structural system irregularities willcause uneven stressing of the floor plates, seam

49、welds, floor toshell weld, and sumps located in the bottom. The stress canlead to early failure of the bottom when the tank is placed backin service and under load from the stored product or thecolumns and legs of floating pans or roofs.7.2.1.4 The use of incorrect welding procedures or unquali-fied welders can result in sub-standard welds that are morelikely to fail.7.2.1.5 Service conditions that might include the presenceof hydrogen sulfide or conditions that may cause weld or platecracking require the appropriate selection of materials, andquality cont
