Posted October 10, 2018 by Mitchell_Ewen

API 653 Inspections help businesses determine if their tanks and liners are reliable and safe for continued service. Heartland Tank Services’ certified inspectors conduct these inspections expertly and with the business’ minimum downtime in mind.

 
[ENGLEWOOD, 10/10/2018] – The American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard applies to all above-ground storage tanks that follow the API 650 standards. Its API 653 inspections are necessary to determine tank durability, and whether the tank complies with state regulations.

Performing these inspections, however, may cause downtime in the business’ operations. Fortunately, Heartland Tank Services' API 653 inspections conducted by certified API inspectors manage to minimize businesses' downtime while improving the tank's quality.

API 653 Tank Inspections

Heartland Tank Services recommends that all API 650 tanks undergo regular inspection. Under state regulations, businesses should conduct formal inspections every five to ten years, but they can opt for informal, walk-around inspections as often as every month.

The API inspector will determine whether the tank is fit for continued service based on the safety and structure of the following factors:

• Foundation
• Tank floor
• Shell (including ultrasonic thickness measurements)
• Roof
• Accessories (nozzles, manways, fill pipes)
• Supplementary equipment
• Internal PVC liner

Based on inspection results, observations, and comparison with the minimum standards, the inspector will draft a preliminary report detailing the necessary and recommended repairs and the maximum fill height. The inspector will also mark all problematic areas for easy identification.
