API STD 653 Annex C - C.2.7.2 Staging Support Connection

[ALO_Inspector]

Hi all,
I was trying to find out what exactly this item is on the API STD 653 Annex C Tank Out-of-service Inspection Checklist.
"C.2.7.2 Staging Support Connection
Inspect the condition of the staging support for corrosion."
It is listed under C.2.7 Fixed Roof Appurtenances.

They probably mean what API 650 calls "Scaffold Cable Support" in section 5.8.8 and figure 5.22.

Would that be the scaffold cable support in Fig. 5.22 of API-650?

Thanks for replying! That seems reasonable. I wish they would use the same terms.... Does anyone know how to find out for sure?

Send in a technical inquiry to the API committee.
