Dear friends, Neutron back scatter is the best method available for your problem. That is a easy to use portable instrument and it need to be moved along the Tank OD. You can use gamma ray scanning if the Tank diameter is small. GRS we use mostly for Column and Vessels regards, Mahinda

Hi Krish, Mahinda's response in #5 is correct, however there are limitations to applying the neutron backscatter technology for sludge level measurements in storage tanks. I don't know if the rules of this discussion forum allow me to post my email address, but if you wanted to contact me by email at: mark@towerscan.com, I would be happy to continue the conversation. We supply the service to our customers, so I'm certainly not discouraging its use, but it is also best to be aware of its limitations so that it can be used and interpreted correctly. Best Wishes Mark
