R Stamp Repair for Tank Trucks
An R Stamp repair is a pressure vessel repair performed by a facility holding National Board R Stamp certification, the credential required to legally repair or alter pressure-retaining components on tanks carrying dangerous goods. As an R Stamp facility following the National Board Inspection Code and ASME requirements, we perform pressure vessel repair work on propane, chemical, and compressed gas tank trucks across Canada, backed by decades of hands-on welding and fabrication experience. Book your R Stamp certified repair below and get your unit back in service.
What Is R Stamp Repair?
The National Board R Stamp is the certification issued to facilities authorized to repair and alter pressure vessels under the National Board Inspection Code, which incorporates ASME R Stamp construction rules. Any welding, patching, or structural work on a tank’s pressure boundary is a tank code repair, specifically code repair pressure vessel work under National Board rules, and only a facility holding a current National Board R Certificate is legally permitted to perform it on your unit.
R Stamp Repair Requirements
Any tank truck carrying compressed or liquefied gas under pressure, most commonly propane, falls under ASME code repair rules whenever its pressure boundary needs work. A pressure vessel R Stamp repair must be documented, tested, and signed off by the certified facility before the unit returns to service, with records kept on file for Transport Canada and National Board review. If you’re unsure whether your repair needs R Stamp certification, our team can confirm before work begins.
How This Differs From a Standard Tank Repair
Not every repair needs an R Stamp certified repair. Dents, cosmetic damage, and non-pressure-boundary fittings fall under our standard Tank Repairs service, while any work touching the tank’s pressure-retaining shell or welds requires R Stamp certified welding repair specifically. We handle both under one roof, so you’re never sent to a second shop if your repair turns out to need R Stamp sign-off.
