Well, it's been dead around here for a while. I guess it just isn't going to catch on. Sucks because there was a ton of money and time invested in this place. Has all the potential to be the most resourceful inspection website around, but if it isn't used then what's the point? Anyways, thanks to all that have contributed so much. The lights will be off soon....Matt

If the tank is empty, thump them with a hammer, listening for an odd hollow sound, indicating disbond & lamination.

1 MHz straightbeam UT should be good for disbond/lamination detection, too

I have also used the SB UT techniqie and it has proven very worthwhile depending on the failure mode you are looking for .  It is hard to beat AE though.

Hi All,

When I worked for DOW we use to use the hammer test, mainly looking for UV damage, these tanks if not coated can get brittle in a hurry.  We put all these type of tanks on a 10 year replacement.
