With almost twenty-five years of tank scanner manufacturing experience behind them, MFE Enterprises set out to redesign the tank scanner. The slim handle assembly contains all of the electrical components within its carbon fiber frame. In lieu of large batteries weighing the unit down, the Mark IV is powered solely by the rugged Getac F110 tablet’s hot-swappable batteries. Not only does this lighten the load, but it also allows for uninterrupted scanning.

The Mark IV tank floor scanner offers both manual and mapping modes. The manual setting provides inspectors with a real-time display alongside a C-Scan mapping preview screen. In order to retain consistent results, operators receive immediate feedback while scanning from the new Speed Tracking feature. This feature ensures operators that they are scanning within an optimal speed range. Along with Speed Tracking, the Mark IV tank scanner contains Speed Compensation Software which normalizes the signal response when scanning within the speed tracking range.

Mapping tank floor bottoms can be a complicated process with other scanners, yet with the Mark IV tank scanner, an operator can map a tank floor bottom in minutes. The software guides the operator through an intuitive process that begins with quickly generating a sketch of the tank floor bottom and ends with a comprehensive detailed MFL map of the tank floor bottom. Operators are able to choose features such as setting annular plates, designating the corner and offset, and coating thickness with a few taps on the touchscreen Getac F110 screen.
