Tank Floor MFL scanning is a non-destructive examination method which uses a magnetic field to detect corrosion and pitting in carbon steel. A powerful magnet is scanned close to the surface to ‘saturate’ the steel with the magnetic field.
Application
- On storage tank bottoms for all industries: upstream, midstream, petrochemical, refineries.
- To identify soil and product side metal losses, pitting and general corrosion.
Advantages
- Fast method for inspecting large areas.
- Minimal set-up time.
- Yields reliable and economic qualitative tank floor assessments.
- High sensitivity: acceptable sensitivity can be obtained through up to 12.5 mm of combined steel and coating thickness.
- Requires access to only one side of the material.
