Question 5

What is API 653 certification and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

API 653 is the American Petroleum Institute standard for inspection, repair, alteration, and reconstruction of aboveground storage tanks. API 653 certification ensures inspectors have the knowledge and expertise to assess tank integrity, identify defects, and recommend appropriate repairs. This certification is critical for maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring tank safety.

Question 6

How often should storage tanks be inspected?

Accepted Answer

Storage tank inspection frequency depends on tank contents, operating conditions, corrosion rates, and regulatory requirements. Generally, API 653 recommends external inspections every 5 years and internal inspections every 10 years. Tanks storing corrosive materials may require more frequent inspections. Our API 653 certified inspectors can develop customized inspection schedules.
