3.5.4 Welding
Butt joint of bottom annular plate shall be inspected and NDE before erection of 1st course shell
plate.
3.5.4.2Requirement of welding
Tack welds used during the assembly of vertical joints of tank shells shall be removed and shall not
remain in the finished joints when the joints are welded manually.
No welding of any kind shall be performed when the surfaces to be welded are wet from rain, snow,
or ice; when rain or snow is falling on such surfaces; or during periods of high winds unless the
welder and the work are properly shielded.
Preheat shall be applied when metal temperature is below the temperature required.
All welding shall be free from coarse ripples, grooves, overlaps, abrupt ridges, and valleys that
interfere with interpretation of NDT results.
After the joint fit up, the root pass will be done always by Back stepWelding method with enough
welders allotted all along, equally divided circumferential joint. Welding of 1st pass shall be done by
the back-step welding method by manual welding with a pitch of about 300mm.
On the 2nd or further pass, continuous welding by manual welding will be adopted.
For the three plate laps, when the plate corners are flame cut, take care not to damage the lower
plate.
Low-hydrogen electrodes shall be used for all manual metal-arc welds in annular rings and shell
courses, including the attachment of the first shell course to bottom or annular plates.
Welding including tacking shall be made as per approved procedure, Welders are to be qualified in
accordance with ASME Section IX and the approved welding procedure. Welding procedure
specification (WPS) and applicable procedure qualification record (PQR) shall be submitted to
Company for approval prior to start welding operation.
There are 5 weld joints which marked 1 will be welded approx 300mm at first from outside to center.
When weld joint 1 completed,the same method as welding joint 2.
Weld the long welds prior to the short welds, the welds between bottom plates and annual plates
shall be welded after the welds between annual plates completed.
When we weld the short bottom plate welds, we use anti distortion fixture beside the weld side
100mm.
The below diagrammatic sketch just for the position of anti-distortion fixture.
All bottom plate joints shall be vacuum tested using soapsuds solution as per API STD 650 and at 10
psig (-0.069Mpa).
Vacuum testing is performed using a testing box approximately 150mm (6 inch) wide by750mm (30
inch) long with a clear window in the top, which provides proper visibility to view the area under
inspection. During testing, illumination shall be adequate for proper evaluation and interpretation of
the test. The open bottom shall be sealed against the tank surface by a suitable gasket. Connections
valves lightning and gauges, as required, shall be provided. A soap film solution or commercial leak
detection solution, appreciate to the conditions, shall be used.
A partial vacuum of 20Kpa (3 lbf/in 2/6in.Hg) to 35kpa (5 lbf/in 2/10in.Hg) gauge shall be used for the
test. A second partial vacuum test of 55kpa (8 lbf/in 2/16in.Hg) to 70 Kpa (10 lbf/in 2/20in.Hg) shall
be performed for the detection of very small leaks.
The vacuum-box testing shall have 50mm(2in) overlap of previously viewed surface on each
application.
The metal surface temperature limits shall be between 4°C (40°F) and 52°C (125°F), unless the film
solution is proven to work at temperatures outside these limits, either by testing or manufacturer’s
recommendations.
A minimum light intensity of 1000 Lux (100 fc) at the point of examination is required during the
application of examination and evaluation for leaks.
The vacuum shall be maintained for the greater of either at least 5 seconds or the time required to
view the area under test.
The vacuum test report shall be recorded as per the company approved ITP and submit to company.
The annular to annular butt weld seams under the shell plate shall be ground smooth.
Plates to be joined by butt welding shall be matched accurately and retained in position during the
welding operation. Misalignment in completed vertical joints for plates greater than 16mm thick shall
not exceed 10% of the plate thickness or 3mm, whichever is less, misalignment for plates less than
or equal to 16mm thick shall not exceed 1.5 mm.
Shell plates will be aligned by metal clips attached to the bottom plates, and the shell must be tack
welded to the bottom before continuous welding is started between the bottom edge of the shell plate
and the bottom plates.
st
The welding of the 1 shell to the bottom shall be practically completed before the welding of bottom
joints that have been left open to compensate for shrinkage of any welds previously made is
completed.
Level, radius, roundness and verticality shall be checked and adjusted, after completion of 1st
course shell plate erection.
The shell plates shall be lifted by crawler or mobile crane, and fixed in position by metal clips.
In principle, the vertical joint will be welded prior to welding the circumferential joints.
In completed horizontal butt joints, the upper plate shall not project beyond the face of the lower
plates at any point by more than 20% of the thickness of the upper plate, with a maximum projection
of 3mm.
The reverse side of double-welded butt joints shall be thoroughly cleaned in a manner that will leave
the exposed surface satisfactory for fusion of the weld metal to be added, prior to the application of
the first bead to the second side.
The maximum out-of-plumbness of the top of the shell relative to the bottom of the shell shall not
exceed 1/200 of the total tank height. The out-of-plumbness in one shell course shall not exceed the
permissible variations for flatness and waviness as specified in ASMT A 6M/A, ASTM A 20M/A, or
ASTM A 480M/A 480, whichever is applicable.
Plate misalignments shall not be corrected by grinding off plate thickness to reduce offset.
The areas where temporary attachments (ex. Erection jigs, scaffold hook etc.) are removed, shall be
examined visually and by the liquid penetrant method. Any plate repair will be tested by MPI as per
the company approvedMagnetic particle testing procedure IQWQ-CE1092-QPQAC-00-0011.
All specified non-destructive examinations for shell welding joints must be performed in accordance
th
with the minimum requirement of API-650 12 revision and site NDT procedure, whichever is more
stringent, and are inspected and found satisfactorily.
The initial shell-to-bottom weld pass inside the shell shall have all slag and non-metals removed from
the surface of the weld and then examined for its entire circumference prior to welding the first weld
pass outside the shell (temporary weld fit-up tacks excepted), both visually and solvent liquid
penetrant methods will be performed. The solvent liquid method will performed as per the company
approved liquid penetrant testing procedure IQWQ-CE1092-QPQAC-00-0012.
Applying a solvent liquid penetrant to the weld and then applying a developer to the gap between the
shell and bottom and examining for leaks after a minimum dwell time of one hour.
Thoroughly clean all residual examination materials from the as yet to be welded surfaces and from
the un-welded gap between the shell and bottom. Remove defective weld segments and re-weld as
required. Reexamine the repaired welds and minimum of 150 mm to either side in the manner
described above. Repeat this clean-remove-repair-examine-and-clean process until there is no
evidence of leaking.
Inspection for the quality of the butt welds shall be made using the radiographic method in
accordance with the company approved site RT procedure IQWQ-CE1092-QPQAC-00-0009. In
addition to the radiographic method, these butt welds shall also be visually examined for cracks, arc
strikes, excessive undercut, surface porosity, incomplete fusion and other defects.
After fabrication is completed but before the tank is filled with test water, the reinforcing plates by the
manufacturer by applying up to 100kpa(15lbf /in2)gauge pneumatic pressure between the tank shell
and the reinforcement plate on each opening using the telltale hole.
After the entire tank and roof structure is completed, the shell will be tested by 2 kind of method
(1)painting all of joints on the inside with a highly penetrating oil, such as automobile spring oil, and
carefully examining the outside of the joints for leakage, (2)applying vacuum to either side of the
joints.
