Eddy current and ultrasonic systems for flaws detection

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. Contact or meet the company at TUBOTECH Stand 657, Hall 1.

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 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

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

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. Magnetic Analysis Corporation – USA Fax: +1 914 703 3790

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
