Plant Inspection
Standards‑aligned integrity assessment for vessels, piping, and storage tanks.
Plant inspection covers the full integrity assessment of pressure vessels, piping systems, and storage tanks, ensuring they remain safe, compliant, and fit for continued service. Charlton Metal Testing provides structured, standards‑aligned inspection carried out by technicians qualified to API 510 (Pressure Vessels), API 570 (Piping Systems), and API 653 (Storage Tanks). These qualifications ensure every inspection is performed with the technical competence and code knowledge required for high‑integrity industrial assets.
Our approach combines visual examination, conventional NDT, advanced ultrasonic techniques, corrosion monitoring, and thickness measurement to build a clear, traceable understanding of equipment condition. Whether supporting shutdowns, statutory examinations, or long‑term integrity programmes, we deliver reliable data that helps you manage risk, plan maintenance, and maintain compliance across your facility.
