Verify the alignment of the tank and ensure proper mounting to the chassis

Check for any signs of deformation or bulging in the tank structure

Evaluate the condition of the protective coatings and paint for integrity

Inspect any access points (manways, vents, etc.) for proper sealing and structural integrity

Review the tank's design specifications to ensure compliance with standards

Conduct a magnetic particle or dye penetrant inspection on critical welds if necessary

Document any findings and recommend corrective actions for any identified issues

Test all valves for proper operation and sealing.

Inspect the pressure relief valve for functionality and calibration.

Ensure that all fittings are secure and leak-free.

Conduct a pressure test to verify the tank's integrity.

Document the pressure levels and duration of the test.

Inspect for any signs of leaks during the pressure test.

Review the cleaning history of the tank for previous contents.

Ensure the tank is properly cleaned and decontaminated as necessary.

Check for residual chemicals and confirm compliance with safety standards.

Verify that all inspection and testing records are up to date.

Ensure compliance with international and local regulations.

Document any findings and corrective actions taken.
