The Steel Tank Institute (STI) recently acknowledged recipients of its annual Quality Awards for 2015.
Member fabricators of the STIs licensed tank technologies are subject to periodic, unannounced inspections by a team of Steel Plate Institute/Steel Plate Fabricators Association (STI-SPFA) Quality Control Inspectors. STI/SPFA is a not-for-profit trade association whose member companies fabricate steel tanks, pipe and pressure vessels, including stainless steel tanks, for use in the petroleum, food, water and chemical processing industries. During the inspection, inspectors verify that tank construction meets applicable Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and UL Canada (ULC) standards, including UL 58, UL 1746, UL 142, UL 80, UL 2085, and equivalent ULC and international standards. For tanks listed under Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) standards, inspectors provide separate reports to SwRI.
