DESCRIPTION (PREPERATION FOR EXAM API 653)

American Petroleum Institute (API) initiated an Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector Certification Program with the issuance of Supplement 1 to API 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction.

This training course is designed to give a detailed discussion on the required engineering knowledge for In-service Storage tanks with emphasis on the syllabus published by API (Body of Knowledge).

The preparatory course will clarify the basic intentions of all code prescribed for study, how to interpret code rulings, and in the end, built-up confidence among the participants for taking decisions.

The course is divided into six main areas: Basic Storage tank design engineering i.e. API 650, In-service inspection techniques (API 653/ RP 575/ RP 577), Damage mechanisms (API 571), Cathodic protection (API RP 651) and lining of tank bottom (API RP 652), calculations of retirement thickness and other skills required for delivery of quality job & safe operation.

What is API 653 training course objective?

The API 653 training course aims to equip participants with a thorough comprehension of the API 653 standard, which governs the inspection, repair, alteration, and reconstruction of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). In general, PetroSync's API 653 training objectives are mentioned as follows:

  • Main concepts and technical content of API 653 Code and the other reference codes

  • Concept of metal degradation.

  • Design fundamentals of storage tank (API 650).

  • Evaluation of tank integrity of shell, bottom, and roof. Thickness calculations for intended design conditions or revised design conditions.

  • How to clarify the need for Cathodic Protection and lining of tank bottom.

  • Evaluation and decision for remedial action in Tank Settlement.

  • How to estimate the remaining life of the tank and decide inspection intervals. Be able to choose the appropriate inspection tools and inspection intervals.

  • Carry out re-rating, remaining life, and retirement thickness calculations.
