API 653 Storage Tank Inspection
Are your tanks safe and compliant? The scope of API 653 inspection and when it should be performed.
Petroleum, chemical product and water storage tanks are exposed to corrosion, settlement and structural deformation over time.
The API 653 standard is the globally accepted fundamental standard for the inspection, repair, alteration and reconstruction (recertification) of aboveground storage tanks.
What Does API 653 Inspection Cover? • Tank floor MFL scanning • Ultrasonic thickness measurements • Shell and roof inspections • Nozzle and connection inspections • Foundation and settlement assessments • Corrosion and remaining-life calculations
When Should It Be Performed? Inspection intervals are determined based on criteria such as tank age, product type, corrosion rate and previous inspection results.
