Wet Scrapping Tool (WEST 540 Mark II ) used for slivering in six channels of TAPS 3

Wet scraping Tool (WEST 540): It is used for collection of sliver sample from pressure tube for hydrogen analysis. It collects a very thin sliver sample from inside surface of pressure tube without affecting its integrity and residual service life. It is operated by fuelling machine ensuring minimum radiation exposure to the operating personnel.
