Air Receiver Inspections for PSSR Compliance, Safety and Reliable System Operation
Air receivers are a critical part of many compressed air systems, but because they store pressurised air they also need to be inspected properly. Tanair Compressors supports businesses with air receiver inspections to help maintain safety, reduce risk and support ongoing compliance.
Why Air Receiver Inspections Matter
Air receivers help stabilise pressure and support the performance of compressed air systems, but because they operate under pressure, their condition is extremely important. If corrosion, wear or damage goes unnoticed, the result can be serious safety concerns, compliance issues and avoidable disruption.
Regular inspection helps identify potential faults early, gives you a clearer understanding of system condition and supports safe continued use of pressure equipment.
Pressure Systems Safety Regulations (PSSR)
Air compressor systems must be managed correctly to support safe operation and compliance. Under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations, relevant pressure equipment should be examined and maintained so that risks are identified before they become serious problems.
Air receivers can fall within these requirements, which is why inspection and ongoing maintenance are so important for many compressed air installations.
- Supports compliance with pressure system safety requirements
- Helps identify corrosion, wear and structural concerns
- Reduces risk to operators and nearby personnel
- Helps avoid unexpected downtime and costly failures
- Provides greater confidence in system condition and safety

- Support identifying defects before they become critical
- Practical guidance on repairs, servicing or next steps
- Flexible support that works around site schedules
Review
We review the air receiver, system setup and inspection requirements so the right checks can be arranged for your site.
Inspect
The air receiver is assessed for condition, integrity and any signs of wear, damage or issues that may affect safe use.
Report
You receive clear feedback on findings, compliance considerations and any maintenance or remedial actions that may be required.
Why Compliance and Condition Checks Are Important
When compressed air is stored in a tank, it remains under pressure, so the condition of the receiver is fundamental to overall system safety. Faults or defects can create hazards for people using the system and for anyone working nearby.
Inspections are an effective way to identify issues before they develop into larger safety or operational problems.

What is an air receiver inspection?
It is an inspection of the air receiver tank and related pressure equipment to help assess condition, integrity, safety and compliance.
Why are air receiver inspections important?
Because air receivers store compressed air under pressure, defects or deterioration can create serious safety risks and compliance issues if they are not identified early.
Do air receiver tanks fall under PSSR?
Yes, depending on the system and specification, air receiver tanks can fall under the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations and require appropriate inspection and examination.
