UT Bottom Inspection

​

The ultrasonic system is capable of performing thousands of thickness measurements using the pulse-echo method.

​

The probe is introduced through the inspection manway without the entry of technicians, who will operate the robot from outside.

​

The application of this technique complies with NR 13 and API 653, potentially extending the tank downtime for the next inspection interval by up to 10 years. More than 1,000 projects have already been conducted in the United States using this technique.

​

The data collected is processed by our engineers and sent to a qualified professional accredited in API 653 standard.

​

Applications:

​

• Diesel

• Kerosene

• Lubricating oil

• Water

• Chemicals upon consultation

 

The tank must be delivered clean and degassed, free of flammable, acidic, or toxic liquids or gases.

Advantages:

​

• Inspection in accordance with NR 13 and API 653

• No work in confined spaces

• Calculation of corrosion rate

• Calculation of tank lifespan

• Extension of mandatory downtime
