Magnetic Flux Scanner
PIPESCAN is easy to use, cost-effective, portable, magnetic flux leakage inspection system for the rapid screening and detection of random internal corrosion in pipe runs and small diameter vessels.
The latest magnetic material coupled with unique mechanical designs enables coverage of all pipe diameters from 48mm to 2.4 meters with a limited number of scanning heads.
In-Service Inspection
Magnetic flux leakage inspection is not affected by product flowing through the pipe, so surveys can be carried out both online and off-line and at surface temperatures up to 90°C.
Use of PIPESCAN, with its high probability of detection to locate the corrosion, coupled with ultrasonic prove up, provides a cost-effective accurate system for the determination of plant integrity.
How It Works
The operator first connects the sensor cable between the scanning head and MFL control module. Switch on the control module set the required wall thickness and adjust the alarm sensitivity using a reference pipe with known artificial defects.
Then simply set up the scanning head on the pipe to be inspected, push the scanning head and monitor the control module for the audible and visual alarm.
Any areas identified by the PIPESCAN system can then be marked on the pipe for further analysis by a secondary inspection technique, normally ultrasonic and for detailed corrosion mapping we recommend the RMS2 or Theta scan systems
