a.Oil leak test;
a.Peaking banding; media solar, method spray, temperature ambient, holding period 4 hours.
Peaking measured using a horizontal sweep board 36 inch (900 mm) long. Tolerance of b.Vacuum box test;
peaking shall not exceed ½ inch (12.7 mm). Vacuum testing shall conduct as follows:

inches long, with a glass window in the top. The open bottom is sealed against the tank surface by a
b.Roundness; sponge-rubber gasket. Suitable connections, valves, and gauges should be provided.
-Check roundness at 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 325° -Approximately 30 inches of the seam under test is brushed with a soap solution or linseed oil. The

or foam produced by air sucked through the welded seam will indicate the presence of porosity in the
seam.
-A vacuum can be drawn on the box by any convenient method, such as connection to a gasoline or
diesel-motor intake manifold or to an air ejector or special vacuum pump.
-Vacuum box tested using a test pressure at least 3 psi gauge or as specified on Company specification.
c.Radiographic Test;
-Radiographic examination method shall be in accordance with the ASME section V,

Article 2.
-Radiographic inspection is required for shell butt weld, annular-plate butt welds, and flush-
type connection with butt welds.
-Inspection by radiographic method is not required for roof-plate or bottom-plate welds, for
welds joining roof plates to top angle, the top angle to the shell plates, shell plates to bottom
plates, or appurtenances to tanks.
-Number and location of radiographic shall minimum as specified on API Standard 650,
Section 6. Vendor shall submit proposal of number and location of radiographic to
CONTRACTOR/COMPANY for review and approval.
-The radiographers shall be certified by the manufacturer meeting the requirement as
outlined by ASNT Recommended Practice SNT-TC-1A and its supplement.
-Vendor shall submit the radiography test result to CONTRACTOR/COMPANY for review and
approval. The penetrameter image as result of radiography shall clearly enough for visual
examination on a radiograph viewer. The acceptance criteria of radiographs result shall be
judged as specified on ASME Section VIII Div. 1, par. UW-51 (b).
-Repairing defective welds shall be done by chipping or melting out the defects from one or
both side of joint, as required, and proceed with re-welding. All repaired welds are subject to
be re-tested as specified above.
d.Penetrant test;
-Liquid penetrant examination shall be performed in accordance to ASME Section V, Article6.
-Magnetic particle examiner shall meet the requirements on API Standard 650 par. 6.4.3.
-The acceptance criteria and repair of defects shall be per ASME Section VIII, Division 1,
Appendix 8, Par. 8-3, 8-4, and 8-5.
e.Ultrasonic test;
-Ultrasonic examination method shall be in accordance with ASME Section V, article 5.
-Ultrasonic examiner shall be qualified in accordance with as specified on API Standard 650
par. 6.3.3.
-The acceptance criteria and repair of defects shall be per ASME Section VIII, Division 1,
Appendix 12, Par. 12-3 and 12-4.
