In all three cases the damage is typically <strong>localised<\/strong>: patches, pitting, attack along the weld seams and behind the stiffeners.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This changes the way measurements are taken. A regular grid with one reading per node can pass right by the thinnest point without seeing it: <strong>scan mode<\/strong> is needed, which travels across the area and holds the lowest value met. Where the backwall is very irregular the echo becomes weak and noisy, and high gain and an A-Scan are needed to tell whether the reading is real.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light popmake-4066 popmake-739\" style=\"border-width:1px;min-height:250px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"250\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-727 size-full\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=1200%2C250&#038;ssl=1\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=300%2C63&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=1024%2C213&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ultrasuonindt.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/banner_technical_support_choose_products.png?resize=768%2C160&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-30 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#d3d6dc\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-cover-is-layout-15701bb7 wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-ti-fg-color is-style-default has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:clamp(21.536px, 1.346rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.374), 35px);\"><strong>Need help choosing the right product?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b507c051 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button popmake-4066 popmake-739\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ti-accent-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\">Contact us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is then an important operational advantage: the submerged part of the hull borders on these tanks.

wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757838001000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do ballast tanks corrode more than other areas?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Because they alternate seawater with damp, salt-laden air. It is the wet-dry cycle that speeds the process up, more than permanent immersion would: at every emptying the surface stays damp and oxygenated, which is the ideal condition for attack. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757838002000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can the submerged plating be measured from here?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, and it is one of the main reasons for going in: the submerged part of the hull borders on the ballast tanks and the double bottoms. Measuring from inside gives the same data that dry docking would give, but in the dry, with standard instruments and without stopping the vessel for hull work. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757838003000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is scan mode so important in these spaces?<\/strong><p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Because the corrosion here is localised: pitting, patches, attack along the seams and behind the stiffeners. A grid with one reading per node can pass right by the thinnest point without picking it up. Scan mode travels across the area and holds the minimum, which is the value decisions are made on.  <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to <a href=\"https:\/\/ultrasuonindt.it\/en\/applications\/marine-and-offshore\/\">Marine and Offshore<\/a>.
