Velosi is conducting API 653 – Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector Exam Preparation Training online.

The API 653 Above Ground Storage Tank Certification Preparation course is designed to provide individuals with a basic understanding of above ground storage tank inspection, repair, alteration, and rebuilding. This 5-day training session is meant to provide a thorough overview of the engineering knowledge required for In-Service Storage Tanks, with a focus on the API (Body of Knowledge) syllabus for the stated test.

It contains all of the code parts alluded to by the API 653 committee to the extent that they are required from an inspection standpoint. This preparatory course will define the core purposes of all codes required for study, teach participants how to read code rulings, and build confidence in their ability to make decisions.

By completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Prepare for the Certification Exam by learning the primary concepts and technical content of the API 653 Code and other reference codes.
• Reduce the risk of inspection delays caused by regulatory requirements by improving management control of storage tank inspection, repair, alteration, and rebuilding.
• Learn the fundamentals of storage tank design (API 650).
• Learn the valuation of tank shell, bottom, and roof integrity.
