Non-destructive testing instruments 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.
