Reducing uninspected areas in tank floors

Page last modified
April 11 2024

The Blind Zone Scanner introduces a new feature for the ROSEN Tank Bottom Inspection Service (TBIT Ultra) for inspection of aboveground storage tanks. The smaller configuration of the measurement unit itself means the Blind Zone Scanner is able to reach area that would otherwise remain uninspected due to the physical limitations of conventional tank floor scanners. Similar to the TBIT Ultra floor scanner, the Blind Zone Scanner uses high-resolution MFL sensors and an automated detection and sizing algorithm that significantly increases the probability of detection while reducing personnel time in confined spaces.

Pros & Limitations
1
Ability to scan below obstacles such as internal piping and heating coils
1
Automated defect detection and sizing (more reliable and more accurate than manual UT)
1
Full capture and storage of high-resolution mapping data
1
Provision of indications and location (coordinates) of metal loss
1
Measurement of liftoff between sensors and steel plate
1
Data stitching, i.e. the alignment of data sets from tank floor scanner (TBIT Ultra) and Blind Zone Scanner
0
Not suitable for inspection of large surfaces
