By "most applicable" you mean exactly what...???

In widest usage ?

Cheapest ?

Most sensitive or accurate?

????

 
Usually tight inventory control is the first head up.

Periodic double floor (if applicable) sampling/shell visual inspection.

Plus the usual 5 years external/10 years internal inspection by API accredited inspectors.
