FINDINGS:
During the 2026 Tank Farm B Turnaround, visual inspection of TK-230 (Reformate Storage, 45,000 bbl) revealed damage that exceeded the acceptance criteria per API 650 section 5. Refer to the information below for specific dimensions of the aforementioned defects.
Measured fillet leg 3/16 in against 5/16 in on the drawing, around roughly 60 percent of the pad.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Option 1: Re-weld the pad fillet to the drawing leg size and PT.
JUSTIFICATION(S):
The as-built weld does not meet the design, which the shell nozzle load calculation assumes.
