SDT340 TankTest-2

The method that valorizes and reassures the operator in the field. How SDT’s Underground Tank Testing Method Works 1. Two dedicated sensors are placed in the tank. The red one in the liquid and the black one above the surface of the liquid. The SDT340 and its associated sensors offer this measuring instrument unequalled sensitivity. The unit detects even the smallest perforations or “mini defects” not yet generating a significant degree of pollution. You can keep track of all events during the test thanks to a histogram that works for both sensors. Check each sensor’s measurements data directly...
