Résumé : |
Difficult-to-reach locations and challenging conditions require innovative solutions that are guaranteed to work. By combining screening techniques with immediate inspection of areas of concern, inspection times can be intelligently reduced to focus on getting detailed information from the areas of the plant that need attention. Accurate data enables informed decisions on continued service or replacement.
A major advantage of this novel testing procedure is that it was an iterative process whereby a tank-farm operator could screen all of the tanks and identify which where detected as the worst. On opening the tank and carrying out full base-plate inspection, it would be possible to check the model to see how accurate it was and by the time the third tank had completed its full inspection, the model would be fairly accurate and could be used in the future with more certainly. |
