LPG storage tanks at terminals must undergo periodic testing at least once every 5-10 years as required by local regulations. The full testing includes ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, and hydrostatic tests to check for cracks, flaws, defects in the steel or welds, and to verify the tank's integrity. Any issues found are repaired before putting the tank back into use, and the retest date is stamped on the data plate. BNH Gas Tanks manufactures and installs LPG terminals and provides design, engineering, fabrication, commissioning, and operator training services for fuel and chemical storage facilities.
