Materials that have more than minor defects that cannot be satisfactorily repaired shall be rejected.Spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination shall be not less than 6 in. extending along the weld. Spot radiography shall comply with the standards given in 7.15.1.3. Where spot radiographic or ultrasonic examination is applied at joint intersections, the surface shall be prepared and examined for a distance of 3 in. on each side of the intersection, making the minimum length of examination 6 in. on the horizontal weld and 3 in. on the vertical weld.

Ultrasonic testing can find the internal defects of API standard 650 welded storage tanks welding joint, this detection method is very accurate for the internal layer defects of oil tank, but ultrasonic detection is not suitable for the detection of thin-walled storage tank materials. Dye penetrant testing is only suitable for detecting the defects of the surface opening of API standard 650 welded storage tanks and so on metal oil tanks. The feature of this method is convenient and fast.
