MAGNETIC FLUX LEAKAGE TANK SCANNING

Tank Floor Scanner is a non-destructive testing method that generates a more thorough and complete inspection of the tank floor and walls. A strong magnetic field is used to detect pitting and corrosion in carbon plates on both top and bottom surfaces. This magnetic field is created by strong magnets close to the carbon steel floors. The magnetic field leaks from the steel where there is pitting or corrosion and a sensor alert the technician of the discontinuities. The scanner is dragged over the entire surface of the floor, and areas of concern are verified with ultrasound to obtain wall loss readings.
