Pipescan

Pipescan is an easy to use, cost effective, portable, magnetic flux l 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 50mm 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. 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.
