HERE ARE GUIDELINES FOR INSPECTING AST INTERNALS

Despite its wide use, API Standard 653: Tank Inspection, Alteration, and Reconstruction (December 1995) is only a guide for internal inspection of above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) in petroleum products service. No U.S. Federal government regulations cover internal inspection of petroleum product tanks. API-653 is the current industry standard for AST inspection, evaluation, repair, reconstruction, and testing. Many states, such as Alaska, have incorporated API-653 into their laws for minimum tank maintenance requirements.
