Dear colleagues;

 

We are now implementing new modifications on tanks API650, specially on roof (new necessities, f.e., nozzles for proccess instrumentation)

 

Regarding API650 I read it, but nothing (clear) about:

 

- In case of modifications of roof: neccessary test, documentation, certificates, according API650

- In case of modifications of shield: neccessary test, documentation, certificates, according API650

 

Thanks in advance

 

Best Regards;

 

Javier

Please refer to API 653 titled: Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and reconstruction.

Hi Naser;

 

I've already read it, but as usual, it's not clear at all due to if a API650 engineer makes de modification/repair supervision+owner declines, it's not neccessary to do hydro test. But nothing about roof and documents

 

Thanks

 

Javier
