TANK INSPECTION

Ultrasonic B-Scan Inspection

TechCorr's Ultrasonic Tank Wall B-Scan Crawler, known as the TechCorr B-Scan Buggy, is a robust ultrasonic crawler engineered for efficient A and B-scan imaging on above ground ferro-magnetic structures like storage tanks and vessels. Designed to eliminate the need for costly scaffolding or rope access typically associated with UT thickness gauging, our B-Scan Buggy continuously records thickness measurements while traversing the inspection surface. This comprehensive system integrates ultrasonic pulser/receiver, data logging, and motion control, offering a seamless operation and considerable cost savings over manual inspection methods.

Ultrasonic Tank Wall B-Scan Crawler

TechCorr;s UT Tank Wall Crawler, also referred to as the B-Scan Buggy, presents a revolutionary solution for A and B-scan imaging on above ground ferro-magnetic structures, particularly storage tanks, vessels, and offshore installations. Utilizing the reflection phenomenon of acoustic waves, the B-Scan Buggy operates by emitting ultrasonic pulses that penetrate the material and are reflected back upon encountering an obstacle. This method allows for the measurement of thickness and detection of flaws without the need for scaffolding or rope access.

The B-Scan Buggy

Technical Details

The B-scan Ultrasonic scanners provide a two-dimensional graphics presentation, plotting the travel time of ultrasonic pulses against the linear position of the transducer. This results in a detailed B-scan image that offers insights into both the size and depth of material flaws. The system is equipped with a complete UT crawler system, high-resolution B-scan imaging capabilities, and full recording of waveform data up to 30 meters distance. With battery-powered operation and no requirement for couplant or paint removal, the B-Scan Buggy ensures ease of use and minimal disruption to operations. Furthermore, the system's permanently stored data facilitates recall for trend forecasting in Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) and Remaining Life Assessment (RLA), contributing to reduced maintenance costs and improved safety outcomes.
