E-4
The tank shall be pressure tested with a total head of water or equivalent, measured from the base of the tank, and equal to 1½ times the sum of:
(i)     The height of the tank and
(ii)    The design head above the top of the tank that is 3.5m of water.
The pressure shall be raised slowly and steadily until the specified test pressure is reached and that pressure shall be maintained for a period long enough to permit a thorough examination to be made to ensure that the tank is sound enough and shows no leaks or undue distortion.  Welded joints shall be radiographed and a certificate issued.  Should any defects be found, they shall be made good and the test procedure repeated until the tank is certified to be sound.  The tests shall be carried out in the presence of the Engineer and subsequently, the sub-contractor will provide the Engineer with the test certificate.
The tank shall then be cleaned externally and provided with rust inhibiting primer before applying 2No. coats of bituminous paint.  The inside shall also be cleaned and purged of any foreign matter before setting to work.
Ladders and platforms shall be thoroughly cleaned and freed from rust and scale and painted with a priming coat of approved paint.
The tank shall be provided with the following:-
(i)    450mm bolted inspection covers with liquid and vapour tight joint made with a gasket of fuel resistant materials.
(ii)    75mm (3”) vent socket screwed B-SP and pipe at the higher end of the tank with an unloading device to prevent the rise in tank pressure above the design pressure.  The vent pipe shall be free from bends and shall have a continuous rise while being as short as convenient.  It shall terminate in open air in a position where it cannot be tampered with.  The open end shall be turned down and fitted with an open mesh wire cage.
(iii)    65mm diameter filling pipe with hose coupling connection
(iv)    50mm diameter gauging connection with lockable cap.
(v)     50mm diameter supply pipe
(vi)     25mm diameter water drain-off value
The tenderer shall supply hydrostatic oil contents gauge (level indicator) or a
properly calibrated stick (of dip tape) and access ladder to the top of the tank.
The filling pipe shall be extended inside the tank to within 150mm of tank bottom,
complete with anti-siphoning device.
The following information shall be permanently and clearly marked on the tank on the
centre line near the outlet connection.
•    Gross capacity in litres
•    Test pressure
•    Date of test
•    Maximum allowable working pressure
•    Manufacturer’s name of trade mark
•    Year of manufacture
•    The number of British standard and type of tank
The tank shall be installed with a 25mm fall towards the water drain-off tapping point.  The supply socket shall be extended inside the tank to prevent ingress of water in the supply line.  The main contractor shall construct tank supports and bund walls to detail drawings produced by the sub-contractor.  A valued drain off from the lowest part of the tank shall be provided complete with tail pipe and a provision for hose connection.
