Tank Bottom Pitting - Corrosion Inspection
- API 653 mandates periodic internal tank floor inspection with volumetric assessment
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) magnetic flux scanners provide rapid general floor condition assessment.
- Phasor DM can rapidly “prove-up” scanning results with greater detail than conventional ultrasonic testing (UT).
