If you’re in the business of storage tank inspection, having the right tools can mean the difference between early detection and costly downtime. The Mark IV MFL tank floor scanner by MFE Enterprises is a next-generation device designed for efficient, accurate, and API-compliant tank floor inspections. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the MFL tank floor scanner brochure—summarizing its key features, defining the technology, and explaining why the Mark IV is a must-have for modern inspectors.

What Is an MFL Tank Floor Scanner?

MFL stands for magnetic flux leakage, a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect corrosion, pitting, and volume loss in steel structures, especially tank floors. MFL scanners magnetize the steel and sense leakage fields caused by discontinuities, offering precise insights into the condition of the tank floor—without cutting or dismantling any part of the structure.
