| Description | A back-to-back locator instrument includes a first portion with an array of two or more magnetic sensors, and an indicator arrangement. A second portion of the instrument includes an array of correspondingly located magnets. Each of the first and second portions includes a marking arrangement, which either allows marking of the underlying surface, or viewing of a mark on the surface for properly locating the instrument portion thereon. When the two portions are congruent or registered, the indicator arrangement gives a maximum indication of corresponding locations. In a particular use, corresponding locations on the inside and outside of a tank are identified. The indicator arrangement may include a separate indicator for each magnetic sensor. A flux concentrator may be associated with each magnetic sensor. |
