Eddy current and ultrasonic
systems for flaws detection
CONTROLE Mesure Systèmes has
designed, developed and manufactured
a complete NDT range of products in
eddy current and ultrasonic testing
methods for more than 25 years that
comprise high performance instruments
and systems, probes and transducers,
accessories and complete turnkey
machines with associated mechanics.
The main equipment manufactured
by CMS is: eddy current rotating
heads RotoETscan for tubes and bars
diameter range 1 to 220mm for surface,
subsurface and punctual flaws detection;
and ultrasonic rotating head RotoUTscan
for tube inspection welded in stainless
steel, titanium, zirconium and carbon
steel (diameter range 6 to 250mm)
for longitudinal and transversal defect
detection and thickness measurement
as well as OD – ID and ovalisation.
Ultrasonic and eddy current rotating
heads (RotoUTscan and RotoETscan)
can be combined with other CMS
equipment (magnetising units, rotating
systems and support coils). They can
be installed together in a strong control
bench including centring devices.
Supervision software allows displaying
of combined signals (UT/ET) and
creation of inspection reports that can
be used as control evidence for quality
services and customers. Data stored
can be recalled for analysis and quality
treatment. All the systems meet quality
standards such as API, ASTM and DIN,
and can be used on-line and off-line.
Through its products and its remote
assistance, Contrôle Mesure Systèmes
provides quality and productivity
solutions for industrial applications.

Non-destructive testing expert
celebrates 85th anniversary
MAGNETIC Analysis Corporation,
a leader in non-destructive testing,
is celebrating 85 years of designing
and supplying innovative inspection
instruments and systems for metal
manufacturers throughout the world.
Founded in 1928 in Long Island
City, New York, at a time when testing
for quality purposes usually meant
laboratory “sampling” techniques that
essentially destroyed or altered part
of the product being tested, MAC
began working with electromagnetic
techniques to non-destructively test
steel bars without altering the product.
After six years of development work,
MAC introduced the first successful bar
tester to identify cracks in steel bars in a
mill in 1934.
Since then, the company has set the
standard for innovative NDT technology
for metal bar, tube and parts, with rotary
eddy current testers, phase gating,
pulsed eddy current, polar presentation,
fully digitised test instrumentation, vivid
colour presentations, rotary ultrasonic
testers, advanced flux leakage
inspection and much more. “With the
increasingly demanding specifications
that our customers must meet, MAC
has developed test systems to meet
the stringent requirements of API,
ASTM, EN, DIN and other standards
organisations, allowing manufacturers
to improve their quality and ship more
products, be they oil country tubular
goods, nuclear heat exchanger tubing,
bar for the automotive industry, wire
for medical use, or other critical
applications,” says MAC president and
CEO Joseph Vitulli.
“Serving the world’s metalworking
industry with reliable, cost effective,
top-of-the-line instrumentation and
test systems to ensure they can meet
the high quality requirements of their
customers, is our 24/7 goal,” said
company chairman William Gould III,
whose father and grandfather were
the original founders. “But the real key
to our survival and growth has been
innovative MAC people, over several
generations, who have understood the
challenge to make products that truly
serve the world’s needs – products that
work reliably, are economic to make
and are practical to use. MAC people’s
energy and imagination continues to
enable us to serve a very diverse and
challenging world.”
MAC’s primary research and
development, production and corporate
headquarters are located in Elmsford,
New York, USA, with additional
manufacturing and laboratory test
facilities in Boardman, Ohio. MAC’s
subsidiary, Magnetic Analysis Nordic,
which has recently expanded into a new
larger building in Östersund, Sweden,
to better serve the European market,
provides research and development as
well as manufacturing capabilities. An
extensive staff of field engineers and
experienced representatives provides
support and installation services for
customers in Europe, North and South
America, Eastern Europe, Russia, India,
China, Southeast Asia and South Korea.
Additional MAC subsidiaries are
located in the UK, Italy and Australia,
along with a representative office in
China.
