NON-destructive test instruments and systems from
Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC) will be exhibited at
the Polimeter Comércio e Representações Ltda stand at
Tubotech. Polimeter is MAC’s representative for Brazil, Chile
and Argentina.
MAC offers three different test technologies: eddy current,
ultrasonic, and flux leakage. The company’s ability to provide
a choice of technologies is a distinct advantage. By combining
eddy current and ultrasonic technology, for example, superior
test results can be obtained as each technique detects the
conditions that it is best suited to find.
Applications include inspecting welded and seamless tubes
for automotive applications as well as oil country tubular
goods (OCTG) with or without upset ends. Both ferromagnetic
and non-ferromagnetic materials can be tested.
Information on the MultiMac® eddy current, Echomac® FD-5
ultrasonic, and Rotoflux® flux leakage test instruments and
systems will be available. The versatile MultiMac with up to
eight test channels can be used to detect transverse, non-
continuous and/or longitudinal, seam-type surface defects.
The Echomac FD-5 instrument features up to 32
independent test channels, and is used for flaw detection
and measurement of wall thickness, ID, OD, ovality and
eccentricity. Echomac FD-5 can be used with MAC’s rotating
transducer units as well as with new or existing immersion,
squirter and other couplant type installations.
The Rotoflux tester is available for transverse and
longitudinal flaw detection. With 48 channels, the Rotoflux
systems meet demanding industry standards for heavy wall
OCTG tube. A recent system for a tube mill has the capability
of testing to within 1" of the tube end.
A range of mechanical handling, test coil platforms,
automatedcontrols, reportingcapabilitiesandelectromagnetic
comparators are also available from MAC.
