TA-LRUT™ (Tank Annular Ring Automated UT) - A critical part of any storage tank is the annular ring area. Severe damage here can lead to major structural failure with the consequent rapid loss of contents. During operation, water can get underneath the annular ring or chine area and may corrode the floor and annular ring undetected, the results of which are sometimes seen during TANKPAC™ in-service floor testing. In order to get some indication of the severity of the damage the Physical Acoustics Corporation has developed an automated scanner, software and procedure to assess this area without the tank needing to be removed from service.
