Magnetostrictive Sensor Reflectometer

Caption

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has created a magnetostrictive (MST) probe that uses guided wave technology to detect corrosion in storage tanks, creating a more cost-effective and efficient inspection method. SwRI’s probe attaches to the side of a storage tank and produces a highly detailed map of damaged areas inside.
