White Tank’s DoT Cargo Test Tanks
Whatever you plan on transporting, all cargo tanks are required to be inspected and tested before they are filled. Ensure yours is ready with White Tank’s reliable inspection and testing services.
Our mechanics and inspectors work hard to keep you compliant with the federal standards set by the DoT. That means we perform all the necessary assessments, including pressure testing, external visual inspection and testing, lining inspection, leakage testing, and thickness testing. We have the experience to perform these examinations on many make or model. If we find that your tank doesn’t measure up to expectations, there’s no need to worry. Our team can step in to repair it. We can then retest it to ensure it’s safe and ready for use.
Department of Transportation Testing and Inspection Requirements?
Since your cargo tank is expected to hold hazardous materials, it needs to be able to store those materials safely and securely. That’s why the DoT requires your tank to undergo several inspections and tests. These procedures include:
- External Visual Inspection (V) – Annual Test
- Leakage Test (K) – Annual Inspection
- Internal Visual Inspection (I) – Five-Year Test
- Pressure Test (P) – Five-Year Test
- Thickness Test (T) – Two-Year Test
- Upper Coupler Inspection (UC) – Five-Year Test

External Vision Inspection (V)
As part of the yearly inspection process, our team conducts an external visual inspection (V) in accordance with section 180.407(d).

This visual inspection helps ensure that your tank remains in optimal condition for safe transportation.
Leakage Test (K)
White Tank & Truck Repair also offers leakage tests (K) following section 180.407(h) of the PHMSA regulations. They identify any emissions in the tank’s package and piping system, ensuring the containment of hazardous materials during transportation. Our technicians employ advanced techniques and equipment to conduct accurate and reliable tests, ensuring that your cargo tank meets the required safety standards.
5-year Certification Requirements
We understand the importance of meeting five-year certification requirements for cargo tanks. They are crucial in maintaining structural integrity and operational condition.
