Non-Destructive Inspection of Storage Tanks GINTRON!!Being one of leading suppliers of MFL inspection equipment for steel ropes, INTRON PLUS has de- veloped the instrument INTROCOR M-150 for NDT of steel plates, which is applied tor inspec- tion of tank floor. roof, wall and hull. The instru- ment contains strong permanent magnets which magnetize the steel plate to saturation value. The magnetic flux travels through the plate undisturbed. When the plate has loss of metal due corrosion or contains cracks the mag- netic flux is disturbed and Hall sensors acquire this disturbance. INTROCOR M-150 is a reliable and effective equipment to inspect integrity of storage tanks. The tool acquires transverse oriented defects like cracks, pitting, and corrnsian In ad- dition the instrument measures plate thickness and coating thickness. It is possible to in- spect areas close to the plate welds. The INTROCOR's performance corresponds to API 653 requirements. The instrument opera- tion is based on well proved MFL inspection technology with implemented eddy-current probes. The instrument is suited to inspect hard-to-reach areas of tank floor and roof having practically no “dead” zone. Ihe sophisticated software WINTKOCOR, developed in-house, is a powerful tool to sufficiently increase information value of the inspection results. After the inspection is completed the in- spection results are handed over to the cus- tomer along with the technical reportThe key features of INTROCOR M-150 Purpose NDT of steel plates Content Principle of operation Scarier M-150, data loyyer, softwere WINTROCOR | Magnetic flux leakage Control Manual Probes 48 Hall sensors, 3 EC probes Thickness of steel plate Maximum 14 mm Test through coatings Yes Maximum coating thickness 6mm Scan width 150 mm Limit of sensitivity 10% of the plate thickness Operating speed 0-1 mis Power supply Batteries Test time 6 hours continuous working Weight 21kg Dimensions (L x W x H) 440 mm x 210 mm x 210 mm “Dead” zone No Inspection of liquid gas storage tank Ves bottom chime Inspection of the tank wall close to tank GINTIAON
