T/ZHSE 2-2020 Periodic inspection specifications for steel spherical storage tanks
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This standard specifies the terms and definitions, general principles, pre-inspection preparations, inspection implementation, and evaluation of inspection results for regular inspections of steel spherical storage tanks (hereinafter referred to as "spherical tanks"). This standard applies to regular inspections of steel spherical storage tanks designed, manufactured, and assembled in accordance with the GB 12337 standard; Main technical content: 6. Inspection Implementation 6.1 Macroscopic Inspection 6.1.1 Macroscopic inspection shall be conducted in accordance with the visual inspection methods specified in NB/T 47013 to inspect the structural integrity, geometric dimensions, and surface conditions (such as cracks, corrosion, leaks, and deformation) of the spherical tank body. 6.1.2 In addition to the items listed in 8.3.2 of TSG 21-2016, the following shall also be included in the macroscopic inspection: a) Structural inspection: the arrangement and type of welds on the support columns, and the type of support column fixation; b) Geometric dimension inspection: the difference between the inner diameter between the two poles of the spherical tank and the maximum and minimum inner diameters of the equatorial section, as well as the difference between the inner diameter between the two poles of the spherical tank and the maximum and minimum inner diameters of the equatorial section and the design inner diameter; c) Appearance inspection: the verticality of each support column in both radial and circumferential directions, the displacement of each support column, and the difference between the foundation settlement and the previous inspection cycle. 6.1.3 Structural and geometric dimension inspection items shall be conducted during the first regular inspection. Subsequent regular inspections shall only be conducted on the parts subject to fatigue loading, with a focus on inspecting new defects in problematic areas. If the results of the ver
