Pipescan - Adjustable (MFL) magnetic flux leakage pipe screening system

Pipescan - MFL Pipe screening

Pipescan is an easy to use, cost effective, portable, magnetic flux leakage inspection system for the detection of random internal corrosion pipe runs. The latest magnetic material coupled with unique mechanical designs enables coverage of all pipe diameters from 48mm to 2.4 metres with a limited number of scanning heads. Magnetic flux leakage inspection is not affected by product flowing through the pipe so surveys can be carried out both on-line and off-line and at surface temperatures up to 90oC.

Key Features

  • Pipe Outside Diameter from 48mm to 2400mm
  • Easy to Use, Cost Effective Inspection Tool
  • Fixed / Adjustable / Circumferential Scan Heads
  • Battery Operated Light Weight Electronic Module

Use of Pipescan, with its high probability of detection to locate the corrosion, coupled with A-Scan ultrasonic monitoring of growth, provides a cost effective accurate system for the determination of plant integrity.
