    Oil Penetrant Test Procedure

    Uploaded by

    hasan_676489616
    This document outlines procedures for performing a penetrant oil test on storage tank shells to check for welding defects between the shell plates and bottom plate. The test involves applying a high flash point penetrating oil to the gap between welded shell and bottom plates. The welds are then examined for any evidence of leakage after letting the oil stand for at least 4 hours. If leakage is found, gas oil will also leak out and be noticed. If no indications of gas oil are observed, the weld is considered sound. Any defects found must be ground, washed, degreased, dried, and rewelded, with the repaired part retested.
