Storage tank Calibration & API Inspection Services

Above Ground Storage tank Calibration Services:

Storage tank Calibration is the science of accurate tank volume measurements by  determining the capacity or partial capacities of storage tank and expressing this capacity as a volume for a linear increment or height of liquid by EODR MethodEIWAA is the largest storage tank calibration and survey company in UAE for providing Storage tank calibration and volume calculations of storage tanks across UAE.  EIWAA is an enclave of prompt, efficient, capable and experienced storage tank calibration engineers to achieve the highest pinnacle of accuracy, we are equipped with accurate/calibrated equipments and of course measure/calibrate the storage tanks individually .All field data’s are processed for analysis by our in house developed software’s  and calibration chart printed error free.EIWAA’s storage tank calibration services helps to maintain ISO Quality certification with the desired accuracy, traceability and standardization required by ISO.

Piping Inspection (API 570) and Certification Services:

Our Pipe line integrity management and Piping Inspection includes Pipe line feasibility study, Pipe line inspection procedure and budget developments, reporting and recommendations etc. EIWAA offers comprehensive package of consultancy and project support services with the capability of performing industry focused research and development contracts. Our expertise having skills and experience in materials and material science, electro chemistry , corrosion and life assessment.

In many situations, it is not possible to find out the surface  area of a  given assets, such as a pipeline or a heat exchanger.  Where the mode of damage is pitting corrosion, we   provides a range of services to obtain required information for confident life assessment.

Using extreme value statistical methods, EIWAA’s API Inspection Engineers calculate the expected depth of the deepest pit based on inspection results from only a small fraction of the surface area.  The extent of inspection required depends on the severity and quantity of the pitting damage.  In cases where there is excessive or little to no pitting, inspecting 10% of the total area is often sufficient.  In cases that are indistinct, we use sequential decision theory to implement inspection test plans based on the degree of risk associated with each case.

API Inspection can perform in both phases of Manufacturing Phase and   Operation Phase as per API 570 standards.

Inspection scope covers;

  • Turnaround Inspections
  • On-stream Inspections
