RUSSELL Fraser Sales (RFS) has introduced the Mark III Tank Floor Scanner from MFE Enterprises which provides improved inspections through coated floors and thicker plates.
The scanner is also said to have fully adjustable thresholds for improved thresholding techniques and the ability to produce color-coded maps of carbon steel loss across the tank floor.
The new Mark III Manual Operation Floor Scanner is the base model, however it is available with multiple upgrade, including improved magnetic bridge which allows for better inspection through coated tank floors and greater plate thickness, and the introduction of a rugged touch screen Panasonic Toughbook.
The base model offers a motor to drive the floor scanner and a new and improved fully adjustable threshold. Any signal that rises above the set threshold will not only stop the motor but will also freeze the signals on screen so that an inspector can quickly identify the location of the defect.
The 2412 Mark III ColorMap is the fully upgraded version of the Mark III that allows the inspector to create a color-coded map of the carbon steel loss across the tank floor. The versatile software allows the inspector to create a detailed tank floor schematic and overlay the actual floor scans on each plate.
The end result is a color-coded map of the tank floor that indicates precise locations of carbon steel loss in the plates.
