Anhydrous Ammonia Tank Testing
Craig's Restoration & Repair offers a
unique and expert view in tank inspections because of our "R" stamp
welding background. After repairing several legible
data plate anhydrous ammonia vessels we feel we have a better understanding of the
construction and problem areas of a nurse tank. We
also take extra measures in providing accurate and thorough tests, such
as:
- Providing a two man crew ensuring that nothing is overlooked.
- Using certified testing gauges to keep from over-pressurizing the vessel.
- Removing painted area to accurately interpret thickness of vessel.
- Regular servicing and recalibration of our testing equipment.
We take pride in our testing because we know what's at Stake
- YOU!

may not be used as a pressure retaining
