Recommended Non-Destructive Testing to Improve Nurse Tank Safety, Phases I and II
This study developed recommendations for non-destructive testing of nurse tanks, supported by sufficient justification and cost-benefit information to enable PHMSA to undertake the rulemaking recommended by NTSB. The study also determined whether a manufacturing process that allowed pinholes in welds caused a safety problem.
