The ladder rungs and attachment welds appear to be in good <br /> access structure condition with no signs ofcorrosion. <br /> components <br /> 5.Coatings .VT of Coatings a.The tank was visually inspected for any coating failure. The tank shell, <br /> ends,and appurtenance coatings are in good condition with only isolated <br /> minor coating failures identified. Rust and coating failure was identified <br /> on all threaded and flanged connections, consider applying touch up <br /> coatings to these areas.Monitor the condition of the coatings and apply <br /> touch up coatings as needed to prevent corrosion damage to the shell, <br /> ends, piping,and appurtenances. <br /> 6.Venting .VT of existing a.The tank is equipped with a 2-in normal vent with a total of 3.14 square <br /> venting system inch of surface area opening,which is less than the 6.28 square inch of <br /> .Calculate the largest in use nozzle(4-in).The normal venting is undersized sized <br /> Venting according to NFPA 30 and UL 142. Since the tank operates at reduced <br /> Requirements flow rates and the total venting capacity is above the required 376,800 <br /> SCFH,no action is required. <br /> b.According to the Morrison Venting guide and NFPA 30, the tank <br /> minimally requires a &in emergency vent with 376,800 SCFH venting <br /> capacity. The 8-in emergency vent located on the manway cover <br /> provides 503,517 SCFH and meets the required emergency venting. <br /> c.Consider servicing the existing normal and emergency vents to assure <br /> ro era eration and prevent damage from over or under pressure. <br /> 7.Grounding .VT grounding a. The tank currently does not have any grounding or bonding Cables <br /> system installed. Consider installing grounding Cables per NFPA 30 Section <br /> 6.5.4. <br /> 8.Signage and .VT to document a.The tank is equipped with appropriate signs and placards conforming to <br /> Placards Fire Department NFPA 704 standards. <br /> Signage <br /> 9.Gauging .VT oftank a.Gauging iscurrently being performed through a manual gauging process. <br /> Gauging system Consider installing an automatic level gauge and high level sensor at the <br /> top of the tank. <br /> 10. Piping .VT of piping a.Visual inspection of the piping components was performed.This tank is <br /> system equipped with threaded components and piping, which are known to <br /> develop seeps. Monitor these areas during monthly and annual <br /> inspections. <br /> STAWIMDVPLLEYAWtIC MSEMJ STM UESELMELMDV YA MW Page D P^MGSIYIS <br /> OAI.PHI. <br />
