September 17, 2008 - OTIS Probe inspects aboveground storage tanks (AST’s) containing oil products, water, or virtually any type of liquid. This is accomplished with the tanks in-service and full of product. The tank does not need to be cleaned at all during inspection. The end result is a tremendous savings to the tank owner while greatly reducing the safety and environmental risks associated with conventional methods. The OTIS probe incorporates transducers for ultrasonic testing (UT) in a custom-designed track mechanism that has the ability to brush debris, such as sludge and sediment, away from the ultrasonic assembly.
The OTIS Probe is deployed through the tank’s top man way and the location of the Probe on the tank floor is controlled by an operator positioned on the top of the tank. UT data collected by the probe is analyzed to report the thickness of the tank floor as well as any pitting or corrosion.
Other robotic pipelines services available include: online and in service (OTIS) robotic tank inspection and cleaning, Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing (GWUT), Remote Field Testing (RFT), Ultrasonic In-Line Inspection (UTILI), Advanced Pipeline Geometry PIG (APGPIG), Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL), Acoustic Valve Leak Detection (VPAC), Ultrasonic Phase Array (UPA), Expandable Eddy Current Spinner (EECS), In-Line Video Inspection (IVI) and many other tests and solutions for pipelines.
