Internal Inspection. These tanks contain a non-corrosive liquid, and
have virtually no internal corrosion. Inspect vessels by means of an ultrasonic thickness
measurement check.
5-6.3
Hydrostatic Test. Perform hydrostatic tests after any repair or alteration
of pressure parts (additional times are at the discretion of the inspector). Prior to
performing a hydrostatic test, verify support structure is adequate to support the weight
of the hydrostatic liquid. If a hydrostatic test is not possible, request approval for a
pneumatic test from the NAVFAC Boiler Inspection Certification Board.
5-6.4
Safety Relief Valves. Fit LPG tanks with ASME Division VIII Section 1
certified, or Underwriters Laboratories UL 132 stamped, spring-loaded safety relief
valves. Do not fit safety relief valves for LPG service with lifting devices. Replace, or
bench test safety relief valves every 6 years of service. This will be done by a company
authorized to perform such tests on either ASME or UL safety valves.
