In situ Assessment of Panel Thickness at the Vertical Joints of Steel Slurry Tanks
A simple mechanical tester that can be used to assess the local thickness at corroded bolted joints of steel slurry tanks without dismantling is described. The need for such a tester and its principle of operation are discussed. The tester provides an in situ, mechanical, non-destructive method of e...

| Zusammenfassung: | A simple mechanical tester that can be used to assess the local thickness at corroded bolted joints of steel slurry tanks without dismantling is described. The need for such a tester and its principle of operation are discussed. The tester provides an in situ, mechanical, non-destructive method of evaluating the factor of safety for corroded steel tanks, based on readings taken when new or using a calibration graph provided, during their service life. |
