Featured MFL Equipment

Mark IV

Tank Floor Scanner

USES

The Mark IV tank floor scanner eliminates uncertainty in corrosion detection by providing fast, accurate, and comprehensive MFL-based scanning to identify and map volumetric metal loss—helping asset owners make proactive decisions before failures occur.

ASSETS

Purpose-built for aboveground storage tank floors, the Mark IV protects critical infrastructure by detecting bottom-side and topside corrosion under coatings, reducing unplanned outages and expensive repair costs.

INDUSTRIES

Designed to serve the rigorous demands of oil & gas, petrochemical, and storage terminal operations, the Mark IV solves industry-wide challenges in tank integrity management, ensuring compliance with API 653 while minimizing downtime and inspection inefficiencies.

MFE Edge

Tank Edge Scanner

USES

The MFE Edge scanner solves the challenge of inaccessible tank perimeter inspection by delivering precise MFL detection along shell-to-floor welds and chime areas—critical zones where corrosion often goes undetected by conventional methods.

ASSETS

Engineered for edge-area corrosion detection, the MFE Edge safeguards your most vulnerable tank regions, ensuring complete inspection coverage and helping extend asset life while reducing the risk of catastrophic failures.

INDUSTRIES

Built to support storage tank operators in the oil & gas, chemical, and power sectors, the MFE Edge addresses the compliance gap at floor perimeters, enabling safer operations and full adherence to API 653 inspection standards.

HPX Wall Crawler

Ultrasonic Thickness Crawler

USES

The HPX Wall Crawler solves the high-risk, high-cost problem of manual UT inspections on tanks, spheres, and vessels by providing remote, high-resolution wall thickness data—keeping technicians safely on the ground while delivering actionable insights.

ASSETS

Built for vertical and hard-to-access structures, the HPX crawler reduces scaffold reliance, improves data quality, and accelerates corrosion monitoring to protect valuable infrastructure and extend asset longevity.

INDUSTRIES

Serving refineries, chemical plants, storage terminals, and power facilities, the HPX Wall Crawler meets industry demands for safer, faster, and more reliable inspections on large-diameter and high-elevation assets.

Benefits of MFL Equipment

Let’s explore the key benefits of MFL inspection and how this powerful technology helps asset owners make smarter, safer, and more cost-effective decisions.

Rapid, Large-Area Coverage Without Surface Preparation

MFL enables high-speed scanning of tank floors without requiring complete surface cleaning or coating removal, significantly reducing inspection time and prep labor.

This drastically lowers operational downtime and inspection costs, enabling asset owners to get back online faster with less disruption to production.

Detection of Subsurface and Volumetric Corrosion

Unlike surface techniques, MFL detects volumetric metal loss—especially bottom-side corrosion that’s invisible from the top surface—making it ideal for detecting early-stage or hidden degradation.

This empowers maintenance teams to prioritize repairs before failures occur, helping avoid costly leaks, environmental incidents, and regulatory non-compliance.

Reliable, Repeatable Mapping for Decision-Making

Advanced MFL systems (like the Mark IV) provide accurate, repeatable corrosion mapping and real-time data visualization, creating a permanent digital record of asset condition.

These insights support long-term maintenance planning, API 653 compliance, and integrity management programs, improving asset longevity and audit readiness.

What industries require MFL inspection?

Industries that store, process, or transport hazardous or high-value liquids—such as oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, power generation, and bulk liquid storage—require MFL inspection to ensure tank integrity and regulatory compliance.

OIL & GAS

Applications: Pipeline inspection (inline inspections), storage tank floor scanning, offshore platform integrity.

Why MFL? Detects corrosion, pitting, and wall thinning in buried or submerged pipes and tanks.

POWER GENERATION

Applications: Boiler tubes, storage tanks, and heat exchangers.

Why MFL? Helps prevent failures in high-temperature, high-pressure systems.

PETROCHEMICAL & CHEMICAL PROCESSING

Applications: Tank floors, pressure vessels, and process piping.

Why MFL? Routine maintenance and safety compliance, especially in environments with corrosive media.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Applications: Steel cables in bridges, reinforcement bars in concrete.

Why MFL? Identifies corrosion or breakage inside structural steel components.

MFL FAQs

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about magnetic flux leakage inspection to help you better understand the technology, its capabilities, and how it supports your asset integrity program.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inspection is a non-destructive testing method that uses magnetic fields and sensors to detect and map corrosion or metal loss in steel structures, primarily tank floors.

Yes, MFL is a highly reliable inspection method for detecting volumetric corrosion, especially when performed by trained technicians using calibrated equipment under proper conditions.

MFL inspections typically use specialized scanners—like MFE Enterprises’ Mark IV—that include magnetic bridges, sensor arrays, and software to capture and display signal data from tank floors or steel surfaces.

MFL is highly effective at identifying volumetric metal loss but is not designed to detect planar defects like cracks or laminations, which may require complementary NDT methods such as ultrasonic testing.

Testimonials

Great company and inspection tools. We send all of our technicians through the MFE 40 hour training class to be certified and its always a great experience. They walk away with knowledge and experience that can only be taught by professionals such as this.
