SGS Introduces Remote Ultrasonic Testing of Storage Tanks

SGS Industrial Services announced that the company expands the range of services offered in the field of non-destructive testing. From now on, SGS provides an innovative inspection solution for difficult to access storage tank walls and roofs, called Remote Ultrasonic Inspection. This new method makes the regular corrosion inspection of storage tanks easier and more cost effective.
SGS Remote Ultrasonic Inspection has advantages over other inspection methods, as it does not require time consuming scaffolding or cranes and can be implemented on tank walls, even those with obstacles, such as wind girders and overlapping plates. With the help of a motorized tank wall scanner with magnetic wheels, carbon steel tanks can be tested for corrosion and weld defects. This method enables remote Line Scans, remote Spot Measurements, remote Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Inspection and remote Visual Inspection with a steerable camera.
Furthermore, this ultrasonic inspection technique provides detailed and reliable data on real tank wall thickness with echo-to-echo measurements as required for any tank integrity assessment.
