Perform API 653 Storage Tank Evaluations With INSPECT

API 653, “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction”, is a standard that describes the minimum requirements for maintaining the integrity of API 650 and API 12C atmospheric pressure, aboveground storage tanks (AST) after they have been placed into service. INSPECT features API 653 inspection data management and assessments that simplify compliance with the mechanical integrity requirements of this standard. To accomplish this, INSPECT tracks tank thickness inspection measurements and provides calculation reports that:

  • Provide automatic or manual CML (condition monitoring location) placement on the tank shell, roof and floor. Inspection locations are shown on the tank model in 3D.

  • Include API 653 nozzle assessments.

  • Perform shell out-of-plane settlement evaluations.

  • Perform tank edge settlement evaluations.

  • Perform tank bottom settlement evaluations.

  • Do assessments on floor bulges. Floor bulge sizes and locations are shown on the 3D tank model.

  • Produce tank MRT (minimum remaining thickness) calculations.

  • Feature built-in, fully user customizable API 653 checklists.

  • Include tank bottom patch plates (repair plates).

  • Include both user defined and safeguard based internal inspection interval options.

  • Determine tank remaining life.
