Fitness-for-Service (FFS) is an assessment that is carried out using standardized methods and criteria, that evaluates the structural integrity of an asset/component to determine whether the asset/component is suitable for its intended use. The Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessment provides a quantitative measure of structural integrity and is part of asset integrity management. The assessments are used to highlight the need for replacement or repair of assets/components. Two of the most commonly used are the recommended practice for assessing fitness-for-service published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) in API 579 and the guidance for the assessment of defects metallic structures published by British Standards in BS 7910. |

API RP 652-Linings of Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank Bottoms |
2020 |
This recommended practice (RP) provides guidance on achieving effective corrosion control in aboveground storage tanks by application of tank bottom linings. It contains information pertinent to the selection of lining materials, surface preparation, lining application, cure, and inspection of tank bottom linings for existing and new storage tanks. In many cases, tank bottom linings have proven to be an effective method of preventing internal corrosion of steel tank bottoms. |

This article provides a case study that illustrates how European design standard “glass reinforced plastic (GRP) tanks for use above ground”, designation EN 13121 [1] (EN 13121) can be used to calculate expected changes in FRP for FRP vessels. The case incorporates both destructive test results and non-destructive, non-intrusive results |
