The Hendrix Group - API 653 inspection and storage tank newsletter by The Hendrix Group (1084 words) |
 | API Standard 653, "Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction," was first published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) in January 1991. |
| In this respect API Standard 653 has formalized the meaning of "inspection agencies" and "inspectors," similar to The National Board Inspection Code and API Standard 510, "Pressure Vessel Inspection," governing ASME Section VIII pressure vessels. |
| API 653 specifies a default 0.7 joint efficiency for product height calculations when the original joint efficiency is not known. |
