WINS utilizes guided wave ultrasonic waves for inspection of annular plate of aboveground storage tanks (AST) while they are in service. The principle is based on sending guided plate waves in to the base of the of the ASR from the transducer placed in the chime area. The plate wave sprovide full inspection coverage. When corrosion, pitting, and erosion are present, the ultrasonic waves mode convert and are received by the same transducer.
There are some limitations of the technique including:
- Top or Bottom Side Differentiation
- Need at least 2 inches of Space for Probe Placement
