THERMOGRAPHY...ANY HINTS?

I need to know how much solids are deposited in a tank for cleaning, my manways are 30'' give or take from the floor, if i have a 6' hockypuck of solids (Cat, Minerals, trash) i need to know how much i need to remove or salvage and how do i get access into the tank, which if it is higher than the manway we have to go to a different rout to attack the problem.

We too use the psychical plumb-bob gage but they are not accurate, it only gives you a height where the plum-bob lands, crude oil and oil distillates dont settle its solids uniformly they have peak and troughs. Its not an option to install an electrical sensor on top of a crude oil tank even if its electrically safe. We have a $40,000 FLUKE IR but its 6 years old and technology has certainly passed us by with the readings we get and the quality of the report on the screen display.

I borrowed a FLIR One to inspect some central heating pipes buried in concrete below a tiled floor.  The camera costs around £200 and adds on to an iOS or Android device.  Is this the sort of thing you're  after.

PK early in this thread mentioned the same thing, i take it that's the quality you get from this FLIR Device? if it is its well worth the money spent on it.

Thanks to everyone for there thoughts..

Anthony.
