Certified API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspectors You Can Trust

All inspections are performed by API 510-certified inspectors with hands-on experience in petrochemical, refining, and heavy industrial operations. We understand the operating conditions, corrosion mechanisms, and regulatory requirements that apply to pressure vessels used in demanding environments.
Our team works closely with plant management, maintenance teams, and engineering departments to ensure inspections are conducted efficiently, safely, and in compliance with API 510, ASME, and applicable jurisdictional requirements.

Comprehensive Pressure Vessel Inspection Services

Chem Ref Services offers a full range of pressure vessel inspection capabilities tailored to your facility’s operational needs.

Internal & External Pressure Vessel Inspections

We conduct thorough internal and external inspections to evaluate the condition of pressure vessels, including shells, heads, nozzles, supports, and attachments. Internal inspections are performed during scheduled shutdowns or turnarounds and are planned to minimize operational impact. External inspections are performed while the equipment is still in service. 

Corrosion & Thickness Surveys

Our inspectors perform detailed corrosion assessments and thickness measurements to identify metal loss, localized corrosion, and potential failure points. These surveys help determine remaining life and support informed maintenance planning.

Fitness-For-Service (FFS) Assessments

When damage, corrosion, or defects are identified, we provide fitness-for-service evaluations to determine whether the vessel can safely remain in operation. These assessments help facilities make data-driven decisions about continued service, repair, or replacement.

Repair & Maintenance Recommendations

Based on inspection findings, Chem Ref Services provides clear, actionable repair recommendations. We work alongside your maintenance and engineering teams to ensure repairs align with API standards and operational requirements.

Compliance Documentation & Reporting

We prepare complete inspection reports and compliance documentation required for audits, insurance, and regulatory review. Our reports are clear, organized, and aligned with API 510 requirements, helping you maintain proper records and demonstrate compliance.


Why API 510 Inspections Are Critical

Regular API 510 inspections are essential for:

  • Ensuring safe operation of pressure vessels
  • Identifying corrosion and damage before failure occurs
  • Maintaining regulatory compliance
  • Extending the service life of critical equipment
  • Reducing unplanned outages and costly emergency repairs

Pressure vessels operate under extreme conditions, and even minor defects can escalate quickly if left unaddressed. Our inspection services help you stay ahead of risk and maintain operational confidence.
