Fast. Accurate. Comprehensive Corrosion Detection.
What Is It
Magnetic Flux Leakage Testing for Tank Floors
Detect Hidden Corrosion Beneath Storage Tanks.
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) is an advanced NDT technique used to inspect tank floors for corrosion and metal loss. The tank floor is magnetized, and areas with metal loss create changes in the magnetic field.
Sensitive sensors detect these changes and help identify damaged areas, providing fast, wide-area coverage for above-ground storage tanks.
Why MFL
Why Choose MFL?
Fast Coverage
Inspect large tank floor areas significantly faster than manual UT.
High Sensitivity
Detect pitting, corrosion, and wall thinning.
Minimal Preparation
Inspect many coated surfaces without extensive coating removal.
Visual Mapping
Generate digital maps showing defect locations and severity.
How It Works
Our MFL Inspection Method
Pre-Inspection Review
Review tank history, previous inspection data, and known corrosion areas.
Scanner Setup
Prepare and calibrate the MFL equipment.
Floor Scanning
Scan the tank floor systematically in a controlled grid pattern.
Data Analysis
Interpret magnetic signals to identify and assess metal loss.
Reporting
Deliver digital maps, defect locations, and inspection findings.
