MEC-Pipescanners

The MEC-Pipescanners offer the following features and benefits in terms of defect assessment, integrity and monitoring support for both on- and offshore applications:

High defect detection sensitivity for pipes / pressure vessels with:

• diameter ranging from 3” to flat surfaces
• wall thickness up to 30mm
• coating thickness up to 8mm
• temperatures up to 170 deg C
• High inspection speed of approx. 20m/min
• Ability to detect internal and external defects from ≥ 10% WT wall loss
• Ability to detect defect size from Ø 3mm
• Ability to inspect different steel materials (carbon, stainless, duplex, super duplex, monel, etc)
• Ability to detect pitting, cracks and various types of corrosion like CO2, microbiological, ammonium chloride salt as well as under deposit corrosion
• Ability to inspect both horizontal and vertical pipes and vessels
• Minimal surface preparation prior to inspection
• Provision of real time inspection analysis including wall loss severity classification
• Separate reporting for both internal and external conditions with advanced colour defect mapping

The MEC-Pipescanners offer the following advantages in comparison to the Saturation Low Frequency Eddy Current Pipescanners:

• More powerful magnetic unit
• Integrated power supply / Eddy Current electronics
• Fast magnet on/off switch
• Eddy Current electronics with single sensor pre-gain
• Data acquisition via either TCP or RS422 and with a standard rugged notebook
• Poleshoes and wheel sets compatible
• Six different lift-off settings with the same wheel holder
• Power supply in an easy-to-carry Pelicase box
• Optional headset for communication
