New UT Phased Array Upgrade Program for ROWA & BIS Users
Magnetic Analysis Corp., Sensor Networks, Inc. and Zetec, three NDT leaders, have joined forces to offer the ZMS program, a single alternative for bar and tube producers needing to service and upgrade their phased array systems such as ROWA and BIS for detecting flaw/wall thickness/geometry and lamination.
When It’s Not a Capital Idea, When Leasing Pays Off
A regional environmental analytical laboratory was bidding on a significant piece of new business. The laboratory already had three gas chromatograph systems; however, this job would require a fourth. The director had used the annual capital budget on equipment to upgrade the laboratory’s high-technology equipment to maintain a competitive edge in its markets.
The Origins of Practical EM Testing & the Historical Contributions of MAC to NDT
Magnetic Analysis Corporation, most commonly referred to as MAC, is a major worldwide source of NDT equipment including eddy current, flux leakage, and ultrasonic inspection systems. Since its beginnings to present day, MAC has been the first to market with various types of groundbreaking NDT equipment.
A Look at NDT Testing
Non-destructive testing or NDT has become the go-to quality assurance management tool for the examination of materials and components. Perhaps the best feature about this form of testing is that it allows materials to be examined without changing or destroying their usefulness.
NDT of Duplex Stainless Steel
This paper will discuss the selection of inspection methods for testing Super Duplex stainless product for the offshore energy exploration, petrochemical, food & beverage, and power generation industry. We will show how Eddy Current and Ultrasonics will meet requirements set up by ASTM, and EN standards in regards to Super Duplex stainless steel.
Modern Comparators
Rapid inspection of fasteners and metal parts for properties such as heat treatment, hardness, and alloy is a key requirement in meeting today’s stringent specifications in the automotive, aerospace, nuclear, and similar demanding industries. Improperly heat-treated parts can result in costly machining issues, rework, lost production time, and product failure.
Testing Wire & Rod
Eddy current technology is the go-to wire and cable testing method for checking continuity, alloy, and other conditions as well as for locating welds and splices.
Advances in Large Diameter Pipe Inspection
A new design has been developed for the ultrasonic testing (UT) of drawn over mandrel seamless carbon steel tube and pipe that enables manufacturers to test with fewer adjustments to accommodate varying diameters of material, without the need for time-consuming configuration changes.
MAC A Major Player in the NDT Industry
Since being founded in 1928 in Long Island City, New York, Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC) has 85 years of experience in the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry. As one of the first companies in the world to develop a fully computerized rotary eddy current tester, MAC is truly a world-class NDT pioneer.
Detecting Metallic Inclusions And Defects In Copper Tube
The Victaulic copper connection system complies with EN1057 half hard copper tubing sizes DN50 to DN150 (2 to 6") and can withstand pressures up to 2,450kPa/355psi depending on the type and size of copper tubing. The product line consists of WRAS-approved Style 606 rigid coupling with grade ‘EW’ EPDM gasket for joining copper tubing and a range of full-flow, standard radius wrought copper fittings supplied with grooves.
Planning Ahead for a Successful NDT System
As a start, suppliers should recognize that it is fast becoming mandatory for any long stock producer to pass 100 percent of the product through a test station to assure that customer expected quality levels are met.
Meeting Standards For Testing Large OCTG Tube and Pipe
Magnetic Analysis Corp. (MAC) has recently supplied a test system to a Russian mill to inspect tube and pipe, up to 500mm (19.6”) diameter. The system features MAC’S largest ever Echomac® Ultrasonic Rotary tester combined with 500mm Rotoflux® Transverse and Longitudinal testers.
