Coating Integrity Testing
Precision dye penetration testing to identify pinholes, voids, and micro-defects in newly applied or existing tank linings before commissioning or return to service.
AmTech Tank Lining provides precision ASTM F1929 dye penetration testing for protective coatings and linings in industrial storage tanks. Our certified technicians identify coating defects, pinholes, and permeation points that compromise chemical containment and corrosion protection. With 55+ years of NDT expertise and engineer-led field crews, we ensure your tank linings meet the most stringent industry standards for integrity verification.
Comprehensive non-destructive testing and integrity verification for tank linings, protective coatings, and containment systems.
Precision dye penetration testing to identify pinholes, voids, and micro-defects in newly applied or existing tank linings before commissioning or return to service.
Systematic scanning and documentation of coating defects using fluorescent tracer dyes under UV light to locate holidays, thin spots, and permeation pathways in protective linings.
Final quality assurance testing before tank commissioning to verify complete coverage and adhesion of chemical-resistant linings including DuraChem® and HydraStone® systems.
Testing of secondary containment coatings, double-wall tank interstitial barriers, and Genesis retrofit systems to confirm impermeability to stored substances.
Post-repair dye penetration testing to confirm the effectiveness of patching, over-coating, and localized lining repairs on previously failed sections.
Detailed test reports with photographic evidence, defect mapping, and certification documents to satisfy EPA, API 653, and state environmental regulatory requirements.
ASTM F1929 dye penetration testing is the industry-standard method for verifying the continuity and impermeability of protective coatings in chemical storage tanks, wastewater containment vessels, and petroleum product tanks. AmTech's certified technicians apply fluorescent tracer dyes to coated surfaces, then inspect under high-intensity UV light to reveal microscopic defects invisible to the naked eye—ensuring your DuraChem® polylinings, HydraStone® cement systems, and fiberglass laminates provide complete barrier protection against corrosive substances, contamination, and regulatory violations.
Protecting critical infrastructure with 55+ years of non-destructive testing expertise and ASTM-certified methodologies.
Trust the largest field installer in North America with over five decades of tank lining expertise and ASTM-compliant testing protocols.
OSHA-trained field engineers with specialized NDT certification conduct all testing using calibrated equipment and documented procedures.
Engineer-led testing crews available across all 50 states, Canada, and the Caribbean with rapid mobilization for commissioning deadlines and emergency assessments.
Detailed documentation with defect photography, dimensional mapping, and compliance certifications satisfying API, NFPA, NSF, and EPA requirements.
When testing reveals defects, our field crews perform immediate on-site repairs using proprietary DuraChem® and HydraStone® systems—eliminating contractor handoffs and project delays.
Engineer-trained professionals with decades of NDT and tank lining experience.

ASTM F1929 is a standardized test method that uses fluorescent or visible dye tracers to detect discontinuities in protective coatings and linings. Technicians apply the dye solution to the coated surface, allow penetration time, then inspect under UV or visible light. Defects such as pinholes, micro-cracks, thin spots, and coating voids become immediately visible as the dye penetrates through discontinuities. This non-destructive method verifies coating continuity without damaging the lining and is essential for commissioning chemical storage tanks, secondary containment systems, and corrosion-resistant barriers.
