API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspection Services

Westech Inspection, Inc. employs Certified API-510 Pressure Vessel Inspectors serving commercial, industrial, and military/government facilities both domestically and internationally.

Our inspectors bring extensive field experience across a wide range of process industries, including refining, chemical processing, power generation, and manufacturing environments.

Equipment Experience

Our team routinely inspects and evaluates:

  • Boilers

  • Pressure vessels

  • Filters and separators

  • Reactors

  • Drums

  • Fractionation and process towers

  • Heat exchangers

We understand not only the construction of this equipment, but also how it performs under real operating conditions.

Damage Mechanism Evaluation

Effective inspection goes beyond thickness readings.

Our inspectors have the knowledge and experience required to identify and evaluate damage mechanisms associated with refinery, petrochemical, and chemical processing environments. This includes recognizing process-driven degradation such as corrosion, erosion, cracking, high-temperature damage, and other service-related deterioration.

With experienced technicians and advanced inspection equipment, we are able to:

  • Locate areas of active degradation

  • Quantify damage severity

  • Evaluate remaining life

  • Provide clear repair or monitoring recommendations

This integrated approach supports sound engineering decisions and regulatory compliance.

Reporting & Engineering Support

We utilize specialized inspection and engineering software to generate detailed, professional reports and perform fitness-for-service evaluations.

Our services include:

  • API 510 inspection reports

  • Repair and alteration specifications

  • Re-rate calculations in accordance with applicable API and ASME design codes

  • Zick analysis for vessel support evaluation

  • Calculations and documentation in accordance with NBIC guidelines

Reports are typically delivered in less than one week, allowing facilities to return equipment to service quickly and confidently.

Advanced Inspection Techniques

In addition to standard API 510 inspections, we utilize advanced inspection methods that can be performed when vessels are externally accessible. These techniques allow for expanded data collection regarding internal condition without requiring full internal entry in certain situations.

This approach can:

  • Reduce downtime

  • Improve data quality

  • Enhance mechanical integrity documentation

  • Support risk-based inspection programs
