Visual Inspections

A basic assessment can be done to identify any visible signs of the following:

• Corrosion
• Damage
• Wear

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) employs advanced techniques to examine the integrity of a tank without causing damage to the vessel.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) employs the use of sound waves to detect potential flaws in the tank walls.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) identifies any pitting or corrosion occurring within the tank.

API 653 Inspections

API 653 inspections offer a comprehensive examination of large, field-erected, above-ground tanks. These inspections are based on the standards imposed by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

STI SP001

At Mass Tank, we have built an experienced team of well-trained, skilled tank inspectors. Every inspector must go through STI SP001 training. The STI SP001 standard helps inspectors gain insights that can be used to maintain the integrity and safety of your storage tanks. The inspection process involves identifying all potential defects or leaks that could lead to a disastrous spill or explosion.

A tank inspection typically involves a thorough visual inspection of the tank, its coating, and other associated equipment. Our inspector will look for cracks, corrosion, or other signs of damage. They will also check the fittings and welds of the tank for leaks.

STI SP00 tank inspections are an inexpensive way to protect your family and property. We recommend having tanks inspected regularly, particularly if they are older and have been in use for many years.

API 653

Our team of qualified inspectors are certified for API 653. This industry standard provides detailed guidelines for the comprehensive inspection of large field-erected tanks and is used by major industries, including the oil and gas sector.

It is essential to inspect vessels regularly to ensure proper operation and safety. The API 653 guidelines can help tank inspection companies like ours determine if a tank is safe for use.

API 570

The American Petroleum Institute (API) developed the API 570 standard, which covers the following components of in-service piping systems:

• Inspection

• Rerating

This standard is often used in chemical processing, petrochemical, and petroleum industries to ensure the safety and integrity of piping systems. API 570 tank inspections are an invaluable resource for maintaining the integrity, efficiency, safety, and compliance of in-service piping systems in a number of other industries. These inspections help to:

• Protect the environment

API 510

Another industry tank inspection standard developed by API is API 510, which specifically focuses on the rerating, alteration, repair, and inspection of pressure vessels used in the following industries:

• Chemical processing
