"textContent": "Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has created a magnetostrictive transducer (MST) probe that uses ultrasonic guided wave technology to detect corrosion in storage tanks, a process that normally requires emptying the tank and checking for corrosion manually. SwRI's probe attaches to the outside of a storage tank, resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient method of corrosion detection.",
