Magnetic Flux Leakage MFL – Bottom Plate Tank
Magnetic Flux Leakage MFL – Bottom Plate Tank is a proven non-destructive technique for detecting corrosion, pitting, and metal loss in storage tank bottom plates. At CT Precise Engineering Sdn Bhd, we offer MFL tank floor scanning services throughout Malaysia, including industrial hubs such as Selangor, Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Pahang (Gebeng), Terengganu, Kedah, and Kemaman. MFL delivers fast, accurate results without the need for tank entry or product removal.
Our advanced tools and skilled technicians help clients plan maintenance efficiently and comply with API 653 requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions – Magnetic Flux Leakage MFL Bottom Plate Tank Inspection in Malaysia
High humidity and coastal atmospheres accelerate underfloor corrosion in Malaysian terminals. MFL inspection rapidly maps corrosion and pitting across the entire tank floor, helping asset owners in Gebeng, Pasir Gudang, Port Klang, and Bintulu prioritise repairs and plan reliable turnarounds.
Yes—MFL floor scanning is performed during out-of-service windows. Plates must be accessible, cleaned, and dry for accurate signal response, especially around weld seams and annular plates.
You get colour-coded corrosion maps, remaining thickness data, defect tables, and repair recommendations aligned to your RBI strategy. We also flag critical zones such as lap welds, patch plates, and shell-to-floor junctions.
We provide same-day mobilisation nationwide—including Klang Valley, Johor Bahru, Penang, Kuantan, and Miri—and can scale crews for large-diameter tanks to shorten outage time.
MFL is highly sensitive to volumetric wall loss such as pitting. For coated floors, sensitivity depends on coating type and thickness; we’ll advise if limited strip areas or additional methods are needed for optimal detection.
We perform on-site sensitivity checks with reference defects and validate indications using ultrasonic thickness measurement on selected spots, ensuring the map reflects true wall loss.
