Falcon Mark II
Tank Floor Inspection System
- Uses the principles of Low Frequency Electromagnetic Technique (LFET) for inspection of tank floors, shells and plates
- Scans ferrous materials such as carbon steel, cast iron and aluminum
- Utilizes up to 64 channels with low signal-to-noise ratio
- Can detect flaws on both top-side and bottom-side surfaces in a single scan; including pitting, corrosion, gradual wall loss, and through-holes
- Modular build can be easily packed for transport and tank entry through standard size man way
- Capable of using AC or DC power
- The system can display scan results in high resolution, real time, 3-D, color graphics
- Results can be saved for further analysis or permanent archiving
Falcon Hand Scanners
- Extend coverage over scanned area and minimize dead space zones
- Handheld scanners have a built in multiplexer for direct connection to Mark II electronics allowing scans of hard to reach areas without extra equipment
- Handheld scanners can be used to inspect large diameter contours such as shells and pipes
Advantage of LFET Over Competing Technologies
- Lightweight due to permanent magnets not being used
- Requires minimal surface preparation to be effective
- Can scan through surface coatings, paint and rust
- Determines top and bottom surface flaws
- Will show flaw responses even when scanner is stopped
- Scanning speed of 10 -15 linear ft/min
Limitations of Competing Technologies
Ultrasound (UT)
-
- For ultrasound, surfaces need to be either sandblasted or spot-prepared for individual discreet UT thickness readings
- Does not provide rapid scanning coverage; UT merely involves spot checks
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
- For Magnetic Flux Leakage method, surfaces need to be sandblasted
- Uses permanent magnets, adding unnecessary weight
- Cannot determine whether flaw is on the top or bottom surface of tank plate
- Cannot test through surface coating
