Re: [MW:23748] Impact Test Requirement for Welds of API-650 Storage Tank when Design Metal Temperature is below -7°C

Dear

ASME SECIX is only a qualification code.Impact test requirements is out of the scope of SECIX.It is design code or client specification which specify impact test requirements as per service conditions.

Design code
to be followed for impact test requirements. Follow API

Dear All,
A Fuel
Oil tank has been designed as per API-650 code and it is
mentioned in this code that when design metal temperature is
below -7°C impact test shall be carried out for all welds
for all components. The statement in code is given
as: 
"9.2.2.2
When the design metal temperature is below -7°C (20 OF),
impact tests of the weld metal shall be made for all
procedures used for welding the components listed in 4 2.10
1, for welding attachments to these components, and for
fabricating shell nozzles and manholes from pipe and
forgings listed in 4.5. 
In our case, design metal
temperature is below -7°C i.e. -10°C but still welding
engineer is insisting that impact testing is not required as
per ASME Section IX (QW-403.5).
My question is that Tank is designed
as per API-650 and there is no reference that ASME section
IX would supersede  the above statement of API-650 where
impact testing shall be carried out when Design Metal
Temperature is below -7°C.
Can anybody guide on this
subject.
Thanks in
advance
