API Inspection Services are performed according to API (American Petroleum Institute) Codes & Standard that are intended to specify the in-service and condition-monitoring program that is needed to ensure the integrity of pressure vessels and pressure relieving devices, above ground storage tanks and piping systems. The API Inspection provide reasonably accurate and timely assessments to determine if any changes in the condition of the above equipment could compromise continued safe operation. API Certified Inspections are critical to maintain the safety and reliability of assets in the oil & gas industry.
We have trained and certified API Inspectors to support your in-service inspection needs in the oil & gas, petroleum, refinery and chemical industries. Our staffs are highly trained and up to date with the latest codes and standards. We have the expertise to provide a broad range of API services with primary focus in the following areas:
API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection is performed in accordance with API 510 Code which covers the in-service inspection, repair, alteration and rerating activities of pressure vessels in the petroleum and chemical plants.
We have certified API 510 Inspectors to provide inspection and engineering evaluation of pressure vessels and to provide guidance on Run/Repair/Replacement decisions. Our targeted inspections focus in finding and quantifying such damage mechanism as cracking, wall thinning, erosion/ erosion-corrosion/ corrosion under insulation (CUI).
Our API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection services mainly covers the following activities:
To assess the condition of the pressure vessel equipment/ parts, we utilize the following testing methods in our API Pressure Vessel Inspection program:
Tank Inspection is conducted in accordance with API 653 standard to determine the mechanical integrity of the tank and the rate of corrosion. Maintaining a safe operating condition and determining any deterioration is another reason for tank inspection.
We have certified API 653 Inspectors to perform API 653 Tank Inspection, which involves visual inspection of the tank exterior, inspecting the tanks for evidence of leaks, shell distortions, signs of settlement, corrosion, the conditions of coatings, insulation and other appurtenances. After reviewing the inspection results, recommendation provided to reduce the potential for failure.
Our API 653 Tank Inspection services mainly covers the following activities:
We utilize the following testing methods in API 653 Inspection to assess the condition of storage tanks:
API 570 Piping Inspection is performed in accordance with API 570 code and is mainly conducted to determine and maintain the on-going integrity of piping systems.
We have certified API 570 Inspectors to perform API 570 Piping Inspection. The Inspection involves finding and evaluating deterioration such as Corrosion, Corrosion under Insulation (CUI), Erosion, Cracking and Fatigue which is then used for Corrosion Rate and Remaining Life Determination, Risk Based Inspection (RBI) and Fitness for Service Evaluation (FFS).
To assess the condition of the piping, we use the following inspection methods:
