Internal corrosion, loss of wall thickness, or a malfunctioning safety valve can silently transform a seemingly problem-free tank into a deadly risk. Periodic inspections detect these unseen risks before an explosion occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AES Innovation conducts internal\/external inspections, hydrostatic pressure tests, and safety equipment checks of compressor air tanks with our qualified engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is checked during a compressor tank inspection?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Internal and external inspection:<\/strong> corrosion, cracks, deformation, and wall thickness (ultrasonic measurement if required)<\/li><li><strong>Hydrostatic (pressure) test:<\/strong> tank&#039;s resistance to test pressure and leak tightness<\/li><li><strong>Safety valve:<\/strong> Opening and emptying capacity at set pressure<\/li><li><strong>Manometer:<\/strong> accuracy and functionality<\/li><li><strong>Drainage, condensate drain, and manufacturing plate.<\/strong> information<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are hydrostatic tests performed with water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a hydrostatic test, the tank is heated with water to a test pressure above the operating pressure (usually 1.5 times), and its structural strength and leak tightness are verified. Water is preferred for safety: in the event of a rupture, water does not cause a sudden and violent energy release like air. This test proves that the tank will operate reliably until the next cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Obligation and Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressure vessels are subject to periodic inspection under Law No. 6331 and Annex III. The general period is as stated in the standard, unless otherwise specified. <strong>once a year<\/strong>Inspections are carried out more frequently when environmental conditions and usage intensity require it. Inspections must be performed by authorized personnel and documented in a report prepared by these authorized personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most Common Nonconformities Encountered in the Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Loss of wall thickness due to corrosion and accumulated condensate on the inner surface.<\/li><li>Tanks with test\/leakage problems or that have never been tested.<\/li><li>Safety valve that is faulty, clogged, or has inappropriate capacity.<\/li><li>Missing\/illegible manufacturing plate and pressure gauge malfunction.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2025 Legislative Update: Amendments to the Work Equipment Regulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulation on Health and Safety Requirements in the Use of Work Equipment (Official Gazette 25.04.2013 \/ 28628), <strong>With the amendment published in the Official Gazette dated December 23, 2025, and numbered 33116.<\/strong> It has been updated. This change directly affects the framework governing periodic inspections and introduces some innovations that businesses should pay attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In order to comply with Law No. 6331, the phrase &quot;accredited inspection body&quot; in the legislation has been amended. <strong>\"&quot;equipment inspection organization&quot;\"<\/strong> It has been organized as follows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During the transition period, organizations accredited by T\u00dcRKAK under TS EN ISO\/IEC 17020 are considered &quot;equipment inspection organizations&quot; until the Ministry makes a new regulation (compliance schedule 1\/1\/2027).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Without performing periodic inspection services <strong>at the latest 1 day before<\/strong>, It has been made mandatory for the employer and the authorized person to prepare and mutually approve a contract in accordance with the example in the OHS-KATIP system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The periodic inspection periods have been essentially preserved with this change; inspections will continue to be carried out at least once a year unless otherwise specified in the relevant standard.

The term &quot;accredited inspection body&quot; has been changed to &quot;equipment inspection body,&quot; it has become mandatory to sign a contract via ISG-KATIP at least one day in advance, and a transition period (1\/1\/2027) has been foreseen for T\u00dcRKAK 17020 accreditation. Inspection periods have essentially remained the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a small compressor tank also subject to inspection?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most are covered according to pressure and volume thresholds; for accurate assessment, the tank&#039;s manufacturing plate and technical specifications are examined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is a safety valve of particular importance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The safety valve is the final safety barrier protecting the tank from overpressure; its correct setting and opening capacity are vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Secure Your Pressure Vessels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">for periodic inspection <a href=\"https:\/\/aesinn.com\/en\/muayene-periyodik-kontrol\/\">Our Inspection and Periodic Control Services<\/a> Review it; for the legal framework. <a href=\"https:\/\/aesinn.com\/en\/periyodik-kontrol-zorunlu-mu-yasal-sureler\/\">mandatory periodic inspection<\/a> Check our guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/aesinn.com\/en\/iletisim\/\">Get a free quote \u00bb<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short answer: Compressor air tanks are vessels that operate under pressure and are subject to periodic inspection under Annex III of the Work Equipment Directive.
