Discover the MFE Edge: Your Essential Tank Floor Edge Scanner Brochure

For professionals tasked with tank floor inspections, edge zones pose a unique challenge. These critical areas near the shell of the tank are often difficult to access, yet are prone to corrosion and damage that can compromise structural integrity. The MFE Edge—developed by MFE Enterprises—is a purpose-built MFL scanner that brings advanced precision and convenience to edge zone inspection. This page introduces you to the MFE Edge brochure, detailing its standout features and why it’s the perfect companion to the Mark IV.

What Is the MFE Edge Tank Floor Edge Scanner?

The MFE Edge is a magnetic flux leakage (MFL) scanner specifically engineered to inspect tank floor edges—tight, curved areas where standard floor scanners can’t effectively reach. Like the Mark IV, the MFE Edge uses magnetic fields to detect corrosion, pitting, and wall loss without damaging the tank. But what sets the Edge apart is its compact frame and pivoting handle, designed to operate seamlessly against the tank wall.

This makes it an essential tool for complete API 653 compliance, where full-surface evaluation—including edges—is required.

Overview of the MFE Edge Brochure

The MFE Edge brochure showcases a powerful, lightweight tool that delivers the same high-resolution analysis as the Mark IV but tailored for edge zones. Here’s a breakdown of what makes the Edge indispensable:

• Real-Time Analysis with A-Scan and C-Scan Views: Operators receive immediate visual feedback on subsurface defects, helping them make fast, informed decisions during inspection.

• Lightweight and Portable: Weighing just 61 lbs (28 kg), the MFE Edge is easy to maneuver and transport, even in tight or elevated tank environments.

• Carbon Fiber Casing with Pivoting Handle: Built for rugged field use, the Edge features a carbon fiber body and an adjustable handle assembly, enabling tight access along the tank shell.

• Seamless Integration with the Mark IV: The MFE Edge produces analytical reports that can be imported into the Mark IV system, ensuring continuity and consistency in inspection workflows.

• Hot Swappable Batteries: Like the Mark IV, the Edge supports uninterrupted operation with a dual-battery system—no need to pause inspections to recharge.

• Getac F110 Tablet Interface: A durable and field-proven display unit for crystal-clear data visualization and user-friendly software navigation.

• Adjustable Sensitivity and Speed Compensation: Tune your scanning parameters on the fly to suit varied material conditions and surface states.

• Test Through Non-Magnetic Coatings: The Edge maintains reliable performance even when working over protective coatings, increasing its versatility in real-world conditions.

• Specifications at a Glance:

  • Scan Width: 6 inches

  • Test Through Coatings: Yes, if non-magnetic

  • Sensitivity: Adjustable

  • Monitor: Getac F110 Tablet

  • Operation Weight: 61 lbs / 28 kg

  • Power: Hot Swappable Batteries

Why the MFE Edge Is the Perfect Companion for the Mark IV

The MFE Edge isn’t just a standalone device—it’s designed to work hand-in-hand with the Mark IV. With matching software architecture and shared data compatibility, inspectors can perform full floor scans (with the Mark IV) and edge zone scans (with the MFE Edge), then unify the results for complete analysis.

This dual-tool strategy not only improves inspection thoroughness but also streamlines reporting, helping you meet API 653 standards and client expectations with less effort and more confidence.
