(3) Pressure vessels subject to internal corrosion shall receive a certificate inspection biennially;
(4) Pressure vessels not subject to internal corrosion shall receive a certificate inspection at intervals set by the board, but internal inspection shall not be required of pressure vessels, the contents of which are known to be noncorrosive to the material of which the shell, heads or fittings are constructed, either from the chemical composition of the contents or from evidence that the contents are adequately treated with a corrosive inhibitor, provided that the vessels are constructed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the board;
(5) Nuclear vessels within the scope of sections 650.200 to 650.290 shall be inspected and reported in such form and with such appropriate information as the board shall designate;

A fee in accordance with the fee schedule adopted pursuant to the provisions of subsection 1 of section 650.275, shall be charged for such supervision.
5.
