Supplying Testing Systems to the Industry Since 1928
Magnetic Analysis Corp (MAC), founded in 1928, offers a full range of eddy current test instruments and systems for detecting surface and sub-surface defects, including laps, slivers, and cracks in non-ferrous and ferrous wire and bar.
Choosing an NDT Process for Tube, Pipe Production Authored by Phil Meinczinger
As market pressures compel tube and pipe manufacturers to search for ways to increase productivity while maintaining adherence to strict quality standards, choosing the optimal inspection method and support system are more critical than ever.
What Can Eddy Current Testing Do for Me Authored by Dean Isbell, ASNT Level III ET & UT
Since the development of eddy current testing in the early to mid-1900s this method has been used to detect defects and properties of many types of metals. The most common applications are testing tubular products for transverse defects, testing bar or wire products for longitudinal surface defects, and testing parts for defects and properties such as hardness.
Magnetic Analysis Corp. Acquires TacTic™ Ultrasonic NDT Systems
Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC®), a designer and producer of nondestructive test instruments and systems since 1928, is pleased to announce the asset acquisition of TacTic™, a Division of Laboratory Testing Inc.

Interview with MAC’s Vice President of Sales, Michael Moist
Magnetic Analysis Corp. (MAC) is a company established over 90 years ago providing non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment for the metals industry, primarily producers of tube, pipe, bar, wire, and parts. The company’s focus is in-line automated testing systems ensuring the identification of defects that would impair the functionality of the product.
Automated Test System for Cold Finishing Specialty Steel Mill
Increasing demands for high-quality steel rod and bar requires effective nondestructive (NDT) testing to ensure producers can meet their customer’s needs. As specifications become ever more stringent, NDT technology is consistently evolving new capabilities, adapting to new conditions and improving integration with mill operations.
Using NDT to Ensure Product Quality Authored by Joseph Baldauff, ASNT Level III ET and UT
Industrial heat exchanger users, aerospace, medical, and some military applications require the highest quality materials and also demand high inspection levels for long intermediate products (wire, tube, and bars). Surprisingly, automotive materials can also require the highest quality because defects in safety-critical components or parts integral to engine lifetime or fuel systems can lead to huge expenses.
How to Use Eddy Current Technology to Test Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Wire” Authored by Troy Libby, Engineering Manager
Eddy Current inspection is a technique used for detecting surface seams, cracks, pits, slivers, and internal discontinuities in ferrous and non-ferrous wire. Different test sensor configurations, including encircling coil and rotary probes, can be used. When using encircling coil eddy current testing, the wire passes through the coil excited by an alternating current with one or more drive signals.
Magnetic Analysis Corp. Announces New CEO
Magnetic Analysis Corp., a global leader in instruments and systems for the nondestructive testing of metals, is pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Lawrence as President and Chief Executive Officer effective November 6th, 2023.
Latest Eddy Current Testing Model to be Showcased at Düsseldorf 2024
Magnetic Analysis Corp. will feature the Minimac® II at its booth. This latest addition to MAC’s range of eddy current test instruments for detecting surface and sub-surface defects such as laps, slivers and cracks in nonferrous and ferrous wire and rod, features an embedded processor host computer, and can be supplied with one or two test channels.
Test Systems for the Wire and Cable Industry
Magnetic Analysis Corp. will be featuring the “Minimac II” at its booth which is to find in the tube section. Wire producers are invited to come over to see products that are applicable to both wire and tube.
Vendors that Become Partners: Collaborate on Effective NDT to Ensure High-Quality Products
One small handful of rejected materials, identified during a run of 30,000 high-precision components, is one handful too many,” asserts John Pechan, Chief Operating Officer at Round Ground Metals® (RGM®).
