What is an Api Source Inspector?

An API Source Inspector is responsible for inspecting and verifying equipment, materials, and fabrication processes to ensure compliance with industry standards, such as those set by the American Petroleum Institute (API). They typically work in manufacturing facilities, vendor sites, or field locations, reviewing welds, coatings, and overall product quality. Their role helps prevent defects and ensures that products meet safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements before being delivered or installed.
