Quick Guide to API 653 Certified Storage Tank Inspector

  Advertisement

The book covers all the codes listed in the API 653 BOK (the so-called ‘effectivity list’), but only the content that is covered in the body of knowledge. Note that in some cases (e.g. API 650 Welded Tanks for Oil Storage) this represents only a small percentage of the full code content. In addition, the content of individual chapters of this book is chosen to reflect those topics that crop up frequently in the API 653 ICP examination. Surprisingly, some long- standing parts of the API 653 BOK have appeared very infrequently, or not at all, in recent examinations.
