pitting
Pitting cluster with max depth 5.4 mm across a 4.2 m² area of bottom plate. Exceeds API 653 5 mm renewal threshold. Likely under-deposit corrosion from water-bottom over service life.
API 653 out-of-service internal inspection of a 60 000 m³ crude oil storage tank commissioned in 1997. Drone footage from confined-space inspection. Findings span bottom-plate pitting (>5 mm), phenolic-epoxy lining end-of-life, shell-to-bottom weld corrosion. Severity thresholds applied per API 653 / EEMUA 159.
Pitting cluster with max depth 5.4 mm across a 4.2 m² area of bottom plate. Exceeds API 653 5 mm renewal threshold. Likely under-deposit corrosion from water-bottom over service life.
Internal lining (phenolic epoxy) breakdown estimated 38% in lower shell-course-2 band. Active corrosion visible at breakdown perimeters. Consistent with end-of-life coating per design service window.
General corrosion at shell-to-bottom weld toe, estimated 22% wall-thickness loss over sample inspection points. Within API 653 monitoring threshold.
Surface porosity along weld seam, ~15 mm length. Below acceptance threshold.
