Frequently asked questions

What types of NDT testing are used to inspect BECS tanks?

The most common types of NDT testing used to inspect BECS tanks are ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT), visual inspection, and foundation cracking assessment. UTT is used to measure the thickness of the tank walls and identify any areas of thinning. Visual inspection is used to identify any signs of corrosion, damage, or leaks. Foundation cracking assessment is used to identify any cracks in the tank foundation.

Why is it important to inspect BECS tanks regularly?

Regular inspection of BECS tanks is essential to identify and address any potential problems before they lead to failure. Failure of a BECS tank can have serious consequences, including environmental damage, financial losses, and even injury or death.
