floormap: tank floor corrosion survey with magnetic flux leakage

 

Testing tank floors, even when opened for maintenance, represents a tough issue for inspectors because:

¨    Visual Inspection does not allow to survey corrosion coming from the underside of the floor, which is where corrosion more likely comes from.

¨    Traditional Inspection (Ultrasonic Thickness neasurements) are too long to be carried out if a significant area of the tank floor want to be covered.

Using the MFL Method, 100% of bottom plates can be quickly inspected, obtaining information about the real loss of material and identification of flaws even if coming from the underside.
