Our ACFM unit has significant advantages over conventional MT and PT techniques. ACFM provides surface and near surface examination without coating removal. It is at least five times faster than the above mentioned conventional techniques providing accurate sizing (length and depth). The soft copy records of the examination display could be used for discontinuity monitoring purposes. This technique add value with rope access inspection on difficult access areas like crane inspection offshore, platform structural inspection etc.
Advantages
Inspection of all electrically conductive materials
No coating removal
Faster inspection – (Survey from 3mm to 200 mm width in a single pass through up to 8 mm of coating with no requirement to clean back bare metal)
Defect sizing – Length & Depth measurements
Post processing 3D Plot
EMA/ACFM/ET/FG modes
Software selectable filters for scan noise reduction
Coating irregularities taken care off / LIFT OFF
Full inspection tractability with full inspection data storage and retrieval
Application in the industry
Inspection of welds and Heat affected zones on pressure vessels/piping
Nodal joint inspection for fatigue cracking above and below water, pedestal crane, pad-eye welds, flare booms, sheer panel and module welds above and below water.
Verification of impact/collision damage below water.
Through protective coating inspection.
