Nondestructive inspection requirements aboveground storage tanks (ASTs)
Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are designed, built and nondestructively inspected to a variety of Standards and Codes. This discussion deals only with the nondestructive inspection requirements for the more common Standards and Codes generated in the United States for these type structures. The problems of how to communicate to the NDT technician the required inspection or testing information within these Standard or Code documents for both new ASTs and repaired, reconstructed or altered ASTs are discussed. In the presentation of this paper, NDT applications, acceptance criteria and personnel requirements for welds or components for radiography, ultrasonic alternatives to radiography, magnetic particle, liquid penetrant, visual and leak testing for the mentioned Standards and Codes will be reviewed.
