Non-destructive testing of OCTG
tubing and casing
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
23/8″ (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.
