SGS is the first inspection company in Thailand to offer 3D laser scanning for
tank calibration for the oil and gas and industrial manufacturing industries.
SGS proudly announces to be the first inspection company in Thailand to
offer 3D laser scanning for tank calibration, with applications in the oil and
gas and industrial manufacturing industries.
In Thailand, SGS carried out its first underground storage tank calibration
(http://www.sgs.com/en/Oil-Gas/Project-Life-Cycle-Services/Services-
During-Construction-and-Commissioning/Storage-Tank-Inspection-Audit-
and-Calibration.aspx) survey using a FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D Multi
Sensor X 330. The scanner, which is more accurate, faster and more cost
efficient than traditional calibration methods, uses a laser beam to measure
and collect diagnostic data. The data collected is then processed to deliver a
full report. The conventional way to calibrate an underground storage tank is
to fill it with water, which takes time and is costly.
3D laser scanning equipment includes built in digital cameras, a compass,
altimeters and GPS to collect the relevant data in digital format. Once
collected, all data is processed, using PolyWorks Software, and the tank’s
volume determined.
SGS’s 3D Laser Scanning Applications
Suitable for use across industries, SGS’s 3D scanning can also be applied to
other projects including:
- Pipeline calibration
- Tank truck calibration
- Ship storage tank calibration
- Architectural surveys
SGS’s 3D Scanning Services - Fast and Efficient
SGS’s 3D scanning services save clients time and money. Equally effective
indoors and out, laser measurements are easier and quicker to collect, they
also remove the need to fill tanks, pipes and similar spaces with liquids or
gases. Data is collated direct from the scanning equipment ensuring
accuracy, and significantly reducing the risk of measurement errors.
Furthermore, the safety of inspectors is improved as there is less need for
working at height and fewer inspectors are required on-site.
SGS Calibration Services
SGS is a world leader in the physical calibration of all types of vessels such
as static storage tanks (above and below ground), trucks, demountable tanks
and ships including specialized gas and LNG carriers. In addition to using
traditional methods of tank calibration, SGS is at the forefront of new
developments in calibration technology. Cutting-edge techniques such as
Laser Distance Technology enable the calibration of ship and shore tanks
without scaffolding, keeping additional cost and disruption to a minimum.
