The -Tanktector is an instrument designed for the detection of cracks or holes in non-conductive linings of steel tanks or vessels containing corrosive liquids. A major advantage claimed for the instrument' is that tests can be undertaken while the contents are still in the tank.
The Tanktector operates without a power source as it obtains current from the alectrolytic action of the corrosive liquid into which it has been placed and the two integral electrodes which form part of the instrument's body. Lining failure is indicated on a meter housed in a protected panel with two other controls.
The device is suitable for use in mild steel vessels which contain metallic components other than mild steel in contact with both the contents and the vessel's outer shell.
