The MFL2000, FloormapVS and HANDSCAN use the Magnetic Flux Exclusion technique to detect corrosion in the floors of steel storage tanks.  PIPESCAN uses the same method for testing piping.  From the developer and manufacturer of the worlds best magnetic flux leakage equipment.  From Silverwing Ltd. (UK).

CRACK MICROGAUGE Systems (ACFM and ACPD) employ the AC field measurement technique to detect cracks in conductive materials and carbon reinforced plastics.  These instruments can detect cracks even through coatings or under water.   The precision field measurement provides information to determine sizing properties of the detected cracks.  Inspection time is much faster than the magnetic particle method and does not require extensive clean up or re-painting.  Visit our AMIGO page to see the latest field ready system.

IRIS Ultrasonic Tube Inspection System.

The Ultima IRIS ultrasonic system for internal inspection of small diameter tubing in petrochemical plants, paper mills, utility plants, etc to inspect boiler tubes, heat exchangers, air coolers, feedwater heaters, reboilers, steam chests adn condensers.

The system uses a rotating pulse-echo technique to scan 100% of the tube wall area.  Data is presented in B-Scan and Interactive C-Scan displays with tube sheet mapping software.  Tube size ranges from 8.6mm internal diameter in both ferrous and non ferrous materials.

                   

From Pan American Industries, Inc.

New technology provides realistic, real-time, eddy current images of both surface-breaking fatigue cracks and hidden multilayer cracking or corrosion.  Though developed to inspect aluminum airframe components, it also works on steel, titanium and some composites.

The MOI produces realistic images having shapes and sizes closely resembling actual cracks or corroded areas.   Inspection can be 5 to 10 times faster than conventional eddy current methods.  There is no need to eliminate paint.  Results can be easily documented through video tape or 35mm film.

The equipment is portable, light weight and hand held.  Minimal operator training is required.

From QUEST Integrated, Inc.

The PLI-1 ultrasonically detects the level of the Liquid to Vapor interface in pressurized cylinders, such as with CO2, Halon, etc.). The instrument operates on the principle that an ultrasound pulse responds differently to the presence or absence of liquid. The PLI-1 generates a sound pulse transmitted by the magnetic based sensor that travels through the steel cylinder wall and into the liquefied gas. It interprets the changes in the echoes that occur as the sound beam responds to the different characteristic impedance of the liquid and the gas or air above the liquid level. The change in response is indicated by the deflection of the meter pointer. The setup procedure for the instrument insures maximum deflection of the meter at the gas/liquid interface, thus making possible a reliable determination of the liquid level.

Wood and Utility Pole Testing:

The YK-14PM is a portable low frequency ultrasonic tester that uses the through transmission method to measure "time of flight' of the ultrasonic pulse to determine condition of the wooden pole or other item being inspected. The measured and displayed time can then be converted to a velocity factor which decreases with degradation of the material.  It can also be used to test other non-metallic materials such as concrete and plastic.
