Reliable processing in tube mill
finishing lines
TUBOSCOPE’S
engineers
have
developed a complete solution for
automated wet magnetic particle
inspection. Called TruFlux™, these
are systems designed for customers
who demand more from an inspection
system.
For tube mills the main benefits of
NOV Tuboscope’s TruFlux™ inspection
systems are enhanced process
reliability combined with reduced space
requirements, as well as considerable
time savings.
The TruFlux™ system allows a
simultaneous inspection for both
transversal and longitudinal orientated
irregularities in OD and ID surfaces,
combined in only one system (no
separate shooting rod required). This
feature with regards to pipe end and
coupling quality testing means that
inspection takes place in active fields
with a DC current as magnetising
current (no skin effect).
The heart of each TruFlux™ system
is the multidirectional magnetiser.
Depending on the level of automation,
it can be used as a combined system
to alternatingly apply longitudinal and
transversal magnetic fields. If required,
the magnetiser can also be operated
separately in a sequential process.
With a strong, adjustable magnetic
field, it is also possible to penetrate
thick walls to have clear indications
on the internal and external surfaces.
All magnetisers are equipped with
special Hall sensors and with computer-
controlled operation, which also enables
a quick and traceable demagnetisation
by an automatic configuration.
As each tube processing or
coupling production facility has special
requirements, all TruFlux™ systems
are designed and manufactured as
customised solutions, to individually
address
each
client’s
specific
requirements.
NOV Tuboscope is a leading supplier
of tubular inspection services and
equipment to thepetroleumand industrial
pipe and tube manufacturing industry,
with engineering and manufacturing
facilities located in Houston, Texas,
USA, and Celle, Germany.
