 Tanknology Inc. (www.tanknology.com) has announced the release of a new PetroScope® Version 7 camera. The new PetroScope® system has been released to meet current demands for internal inspections of USTs both in the USA and abroad.
 The Tanknology PetroScope® Version 7 (V7) was
developed with cost effective key improvements and quality features that
are synonymous with the Tanknology brand.
The
new PetroScope® V7 uses the best block camera on the market, combining
superb picture quality and extremely powerful zooming capabilities,
allowing users to zoom in on small or distant objects with exceptional
clarity and stability.
The latest model brings significant improvement in the near focus ability, extended zoom and reduced illumination needs.
The new PetroScope® V7 comes with 432X Zoom
(36x optical and 12x digital), which is a major improvement from the
current camera in use that has 300X Zoom (25x optical and 12x digital).
It requires a minimum of 0.1 lux illumination and can focus on items as
close as 10mm (0.4”) versus the older model requiring 2.5 lux and
needing 35mm (1.4”) in distance to focus.
Another key improvement worth mentioning in the PetroScope® camera is
the outer casing. The outer casing now slides off the stem improving
access to the motors, lights, wiring, oxygen sensor, and thermal sensors
when maintenance is required. Previously, the unit had to be taken
apart, one section at a time to perform maintenance and/or
troubleshooting. The PetroScope®V7 also has reinforced internal rods to
increase durability and stability.
Some other minor improvements in the PetroScope® V7 system includes:
1. Power switch for Control Unit moved to front panel for improved accessibility.
2. New carrying handles for the Control Box.
3. Tri-pod (stand) has added support to improve camera stability.
4. A pipe nipple was added to the top of the lamp chamber to allow the operator to use CO2 gas to cool the halogen lamps.
PetroScope® Version 7 is the cornerstone of Tanknology’s Four Phase Tank
Assessment that provides an accurate and economical assessment of a
tanks condition – all without the risks of manned entry.
