Non-destructive testing of OCTG tubing and casing

A step ahead technology

Scan Systems Corp, USA, is a specialist in non-destructive testing of OCTG tubing and casing, with over 25 years of experience and state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. The company has recently introduced its unique EMI (electro-magnetic inspection) product that offers an advanced range of specifications and features. In developing its products, the company’s aim is to increase MFL performance and produce a superior quality inspection. This cutting edge technology can be found in the company’s Digi-Tech™ EMI inspection family of products. Options are available to replace existing analog signal processing electronics with magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technology, coupled with custom digital signal processing software (Digi-Pro™). The Digi-Tech equipment is now capable of performing a quality EMI inspection of OCTG pipe with wall thicknesses up to 0.625″, and with production speeds up to 150ft/min.

The Digi-Tech ‘M-Series’ product line features a four-function EMI (electro-magnetic inspection) unit specifically designed for high volume, continuous operation. Originally created for steel mill applications, the M-Series inspection units are designed for 24/7 operation with low maintenance, and high production. The robust M-Series offers quality steel welded sub-frame for stability and performance. The rigid aluminium centre section frame is the foundation where all inspection systems are mounted and integrated. Enhanced pinch roller systems and greatly improved magnetic circuits assure high accuracy when inspecting OCTG. Within the ‘M-Series’ design, the company offers two models covering the entire size range of common OCTG materials. The DT-2100™ equipment features the capacity to inspect plain-end OCTG materials from 2 3 / 8 ″ (60.3mm) through to 8″ (203.2mm). The DT-3100™ equipment can handle plain-end material from 4½″ (114.3mm) through to 14″ (355.6mm). Inspection methods include magnetic flux leakage technology for OD and ID longitudinal and transverse flaws, magnetic flux density for 100 per cent coverage of the wall thickness variations, and an eddy current system for simple comparison of metallurgical mass and permeability differences.
