Abstract

The new ultrasonic technique based on application of long range guided waves is proposed for detection of the defects in a storage tank floor. The technique needs access only to the outer edge of the tank floor and do not require emptying and cleaning of the tank. The propagation of the guided waves in the tank floor has been carried out using simulation and experimental verification. The results obtained on the reduced size tank and results of in situ experiments are presented.
