7.5 Major structural repairs
7.5.1 A major repair is required for any damage to a container that is more
serious than damage to the gelcoat only. Major repairs to the glass
fiber containers are not permitted except by specially trained and
approved personnel.
The limits of repair are given as follows. If container damage is
more than these limits, do not attempt to repair the container. The
damaged shell or shells of the container must be replaced.
7.5.2 The limits of repair are:
(a) Holes or penetrating damage (i.e. through the glass fiber mat)
over an area of more than 77 square centimeters on the outer
surface of the container.
(b) Holes or penetrating damage over an area of more than 58
square centimeters on the inner surface of the container.
(c) Breakage of the rims on either half of the container shell.
NOTE:
The limits above, apply to the TOTAL area of damage,
so that if, for example, repair is required at both ends
of the container, then the permissible areas of repair
for each end must not TOGETHER total more than the
prescribed limits.
