 Floormap3Di scanner performs two functions:

Detection of indications Sizing of indications


 Sizing of indications is based on estimated percentage loss (EPL).
 EPL is corrosion depth relative to plate thickness.
 EPL results are based upon the calibration curve.
 A calibration provides a relationship between the quantity of
leakage field for a given volume loss at a known depth.
