The tool provides high resolution data and has the capability to detect indications down to 2mm depth and 0.08mm in diameter.

The tool is capable of scanning 1400m2 per day

MFL hanscanner

Permits identification of corrosion with speeds up to 0.5m/s.

Maximum thickness of inspection object: 15mm

Usable on coating thicknesses up to 10mm.

May be operated by hand on tank wall etc. May be used in conjunction with rope access.

We also conduct conventional ultrasound measurement using ultrasound probes and  evtl. ultrasound crawler.
