Handscan - Mini (MFL) magnetic flux leakage
corrosion screen system
Click for video
The Handscan MFL corrosion detection mini scanner is designed to compliment the, MFL 2000 and FloormapVS2i floorscanners. Even in such a small configuration the latest generation of permanent magnets enable localized magnetic saturation of the floor area under test.
Signals from corrosion, above the operator controllable threshold, are displayed as both a visual and audible alarm. It’s low profile and extendable handle allow scanning in otherwise inaccessible areas of storage tanks such as the shell to annular area and under pipe work or heater coils.
Key Features
- Low Profile with Extendable Handle
- Suitable for Shell to Annular Areas and Under Pipe Work
- Latest Generation Permanent Magnet Technology
- Separate Battery Operated Lightweight Electronic Module
- Easy to Use, Cost Effective Inspection Tool
