All captured data, over 20% loss of the nominal plate thickness as sized by the on-board software, is re-analyzed in the off-line reporting software, using dynamic filters which automatically detect the type of corrosion whether it is pipe, conical or lake type. Depending on the defect profile the dynamic filters adjust the estimated material loss either up or down as required in relation to the peak amplitude loss estimation generated by the on-board software. The combination of dynamic filtering plus amplitude analysis ensures enhanced defect sizing even on badly corroded floors where small diameter deep pits may otherwise have been undersized.

The operator can filter the severity level of the corrosion being displayed electronically or printed as a hard copy to simplify location of repairable defects or as an aid to calculating remaining life of individual plates or even complete floors.

A comprehensive statistics package which can be configured for the whole tank or individual plates is included in the package as is a patch plate design function. Additional data from visual, ultrasonic, vacuum box and magnetic particle inspection can be added to the report generating a full fingerprint of the tank floor including the annular plates.
