area of interest or heavy corrosion. The user can add up to 12
additional thickness measurements around the principal
measurement in a ‘clock-face’ pattern.
For example, when logging thickness measurements on a pipe,
tank or plate it is sometimes necessary to add additional
measurement points radially around a badly corroded or thin area
to detail the extent of the thinning or corrosion.
See Adding Comments to Measurements on page 116.
Measurement Comments
Each measurement point can optionally have comments added to
it. There is a list of 8 pre-set comments each of up to 24
characters in length. By having a list of pre-set comments the user
can quickly add comments by just selected the ones that are

1.
Pitted Surface
2.
Corrosion Blister
3.
Corrosion Pin-holes
4.
