What is likely happening
Many states require unfired pressure vessels (air receivers, storage tanks and similar) to be inspected on a fixed cycle by a commissioned inspector. It is a compliance item that is easy to forget because the equipment rarely changes.
What you can safely check
- List every tank on site with its data plate details.
- Find the last certificate for each.
What an inspector will look at
- Each regulated vessel
- Safety devices
- Filing with the state or city
Does this affect compliance?
Inspection frequency depends on the state and the type of vessel.
When it becomes urgent
More urgent if a certificate has already expired or you received a notice.
