Objectives
- The API initiated the Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector certification program to provide a continued high level of safety through the use of Inspectors specialized in Aboveground Storage Tanks. The program promotes self-regulation, establishing a uniform standard that will assist national, regional and local governments in setting Aboveground Storage Tanks regulations.
- This course will prepare an Inspector to successfully complete the API 653 Authorized Aboveground Tank Inspector Certification Examination by thoroughly reviewing the API 653 Standard, APT 571, API 575, API 577, API 651, API 652 and the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Sections V and IX. Mock examination questions, meeting the appropriate specific examination criteria, will be utilized to simulate actual API test conditions, providing an effective study base.
