Best maintenance practices for rubber lined steel tanks for acid service

    Greetings!

    What are the best practices for upkeep of rubber lined metallic tanks for acid service? What should be the ideal time interval for internal inspection of the tank? In addition to external inspection and measurement of shell thickness, what are the other options that are available? Is there any thumbrule for replacement of the tank after certain years of service? The tank is used for storing hydrochloric acid. 

    Regards,
