Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023017188A1] The invention relates to a method for inspecting a tank for fluid media, preferably for flammable and/or explosive energy carriers, in particular for inspecting a fixed or floating roof tank, with an inspection device which records measurement data inside the tank on a base, a wall and/or any upper boundary of the tank preferably designed as a fixed or floating roof, wherein the inspection device is introduced into the tank through an access opening, wherein the inspection device is introduced from a sluice chamber of a, in particular mobile, sluice device which is pre-connected to the tank and which is adapted to the conditions present in the tank, through a sluice entrance after the access opening has been opened and is transferred back into the sluice device after the measurement data have been recorded, whereupon, in particular, the access opening is closed. The invention further relates to a sluice device comprising at least one sluice space and a sluice entrance, and to an arrangement comprising a tank, a sluice device and an inspection device for inspecting the tank.
