What is R Stamp Welding?

R Stamp welding is a certified repair process required for pressure-retaining equipment such as cargo tank systems. It ensures all work is performed and documented in accordance with the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC), keeping equipment compliant and approved for operation.

What R Stamp Certification Means

R Stamp #9199 certification is issued under the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. This certification is required for repairs and alterations to pressure-retaining equipment, including cargo tank systems used in fuel, chemical, food, and agricultural transport.

At Tank Specialties of California, every R Stamp repair is performed and documented in accordance with NBIC standards, ensuring your equipment remains compliant and ready for inspection.

R Stamp Welding for Cargo Tank Trucks

Cargo tank trailers operate under strict DOT and safety regulations. When pressure-retaining components are repaired or modified, R Stamp certification is required to ensure the work meets national standards.

Our welding repair shop specializes in cargo tank systems, including:

  • Tank shell and head repairs
  • Nozzle and flange replacement
  • Pressure relief system modifications
  • Internal component repairs
  • Structural welding related to pressure-retaining systems

Repairs performed outside certified standards can lead to failed inspections, compliance issues, and unnecessary downtime. Certified R Stamp welding ensures your cargo tank equipment remains in service and meets all required documentation standards.
