Eddy current and ultrasonic inspection for tubes

several transducers dedicated to different types of defect with different orientation, delamination, inclusion, and chevrons. Inspection is usually undertaken by local immersion. Demagnetizing units are employed to remove remnant magnetic fields. A series of markers (eg paint, spray or saw) are used to indicate the position of detected defects. A computerized system is employed to drive different NDT equipment, communicate with the PLC of the line and give an NDT report for each product in a batch. Automatic settings of mechanical parts (table, pinch rolls, centring devices etc) are designed to support NDT elements. This configuration can be modified using variants like flux leakage, weld inspection, and thickness measurement. The settings are dependant upon the product characteristics and normative values. However, inspection can work according to any production speed. Contrôle Mesure Systèmes – France Fax : +33 385 94 14 15 Email : contactcms@cmseddyscan.com Website : www.cmseddyscan.com

Contrôle Mesure Systèmes (CMS), France, is a leading manufacturer of NDT equipment including inline and offline eddy current and ultrasonic inspection for tube, bar and plate. To ensure detection of all possible defects, CMS technology encompasses a range of complementary inspection techniques. Eddy current anti mix is

employed to verify the steel grade and avoid mixing. In addition, equipment is available to test using eddy current by rotation, in order to detect longitudinal defects. Eddy current testing is also available to detect transversal defects by encircling coil. Ultrasonic inspection is used for the detection of internal defects using
