API-653 ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANK INSPECTOR-BOK Charlie Chong/ Fion Zhang
BODY OF KNOWLEDGE API-653 ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANK INSPECTOR CERTIFICATION EXAMINATION November 2015, March 2016 and July 2016 (Replaces October 2013) API Authorized Aboveground Storage Tank Inspectors must have a broad knowledge base relating to tank inspection and repair of aboveground storage tanks. The API Aboveground Storage Tank Inspector Certification Examination is designed to identify individuals who have satisfied the minimum qualifications specified in API Standard 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction. Questions may be taken from anywhere within each document in this Body of Knowledge (BOK), unless specifically excluded herein. In the event that specific sections of a document are listed as excluded– all other sections within that document are included. In some cases specific paragraphs or sections, such as the example shown below, are included as an aid to the candidate. This is not intended to exclude other paragraphs. For example: In the “Corrosion Rate and Inspection Intervals” section of this BOK (Section A, sub-section 1), it states: The Inspector must be able to calculate: a) Metal Loss (including corrosion averaging - API-653, Section 4) This means that the metal loss calculation will be found in Section 4. It does not mean that other sections in that document are excluded. The examination consists of two parts. The closed-book part tests the candidate on knowledge and tasks requiring everyday working knowledge of API Standard 653 and the applicable reference documents. The open-book portion of the examination requires the use of more detailed information that the inspector is expected to be able to find in the documents, but would not normally be committed to memory.
