Gould 3rd.
MAC System Tests For Eccentricity During Tube Drawing
MAC system tests for eccentricity during tube drawing ECCENTRICITY, where the OD and ID are not concentric, is a problem that is most often created during extrusion of the billet before being drawn into a tube.
Full Body Ultrasonic Inspection Of Spinning Tube
Magnetic Analysis Corp. (MAC) has developed an Ultrasonic Spin-the-Tube inspection system utilizing MAC’s Automated Pitch Control (APC) Technology, and a premium grade conveyor designed specifically for testing applications.
Top Products Of 2016: Rotary Eddy Current Tester
The high-speed Rotomac® rotary eddy current tester for small diameter wire and rod is available from Magnetic Analysis Corp., Elmsford, NY, USA. The Rotomac eddy current tester is designed for ease of use and superior performance in detecting longitudinal, seam-type defects in small diameter wire and bar from 2 to 20 mm diameter.
Testing Small Diameter Nitinol Wire
Magnetic Analysis Corp. has introduced an eddy current test for detecting cracks and inclusions in Nitinol wire. An alloy made of approximately equal parts nickel and titanium, Nitinol is referred to as a SMA (shape memory alloy). It is often used in critical surgical applications such as stents and heart valves
There’s Optimism In the Air: Magnetic Analysis Corporation
Dudley Boden, president and CEO of Magnetic Analysis Corporation, believes the steel industry is at the beginning of a recovery. Activity levels in the OCTG sector are beginning to increase and, despite the obvious challenges presented by the current economic and geopolitical climate, there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Ultrasonic/Eddy Current System for Automotive Shock Absorber Tubing
Magnetic Analysis Corp. (MAC) has supplied an ultrasonic/eddy current multi-test system to inspect cold-drawn welded tube used in the production of shock absorbers at a Monterrey, Mexico plant operated by Prosankin (formerly A-4C-Sankin).
MAC To Exhibit Latest Echomac® UT Instrument At Fabtech
MAGNETIC Analysis Corp (MAC) will be featuring its Echomac® FD-6/6A ultrasonic test equipment at booth 810018 at the FABTECH 2017 show. Information will be available on a variety of applications, ranging from full-body testing for spinning tube and weld zone inspection during production to 500mm ultrasonic/flux leakage multi-test systems for large-diameter pipe.
Critical NDT Applications
Nondestructive testing, commonly referred to as NDT, was first developed in the late 1800s. In the years since, a variety of technologies have been developed, including Eddy Current Testing (ECT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT), which will be our focus. These two methods often complement one another when used together.
Exploring NDT options for energy-related tube, pipe products, Authored by Joseph Baldauff, VP Technology
As the oil and gas industry has changed over the years, the quality standards for tube and pipe have gained in importance. Drilling is taking place in more remote locations, often many miles offshore; horizontal drilling capability allows drilling at ever-greater distances; and to find new sources, drilling is going deeper than ever before.
