Approximate RT Calculation For API 650 Tank

This document provides an approximate calculation of the number of radiographic test (RT) spots needed for various welds on an API 650 above ground oil storage tank. It includes inputs for the tank dimensions, number of shells, vertical and horizontal joint lengths, and other factors to determine the total number of estimated RT spots needed. The results show the total estimated spots is 85 after adding a 10% contingency, which would require around 9 visits by the RT crew to complete.
