Construction & Inspection of Welded Storage Tanks (API 650, 620, 653)
Objectives

  • This 5 days course provides in-depth understanding of Material Selection, Design Construction, Inspection of New tanks and also the Inspection, Repair, Alteration, Re-rating of “In-Service” Tanks. This course is a “All – Inclusive” course for Tank Engineers and Inspectors.

 

  • It covers the requirements of the three most relevant Tank Codes ( API 650, API 620 and API 653) used in Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries. It also covers the major requirements of Cathodic Protection (API 651), Tank lining (API 652), Several Case studies, Exercises and Examples help to understand the Practical application of Code rules in day-to-day activities.
