API (American Petroleum Institute) inspection refers to a set of standards and practices for inspecting equipment and facilities in the oil and gas industry. These inspections ensure compliance with API codes, focusing on safety, reliability, and environmental protection. API inspections cover various aspects, including the condition of pressure vessels, pipelines, storage tanks, and other critical infrastructure. Techniques such as visual inspections, non-destructive testing, and ultrasonic testing are used to identify defects, corrosion, and wear. Regular API inspections help maintain operational integrity, prevent accidents, and ensure that assets meet industry regulations and standards for safe and efficient performance.
