Tubing Inspection

Tubing Inspection

The R/D Tech MultiScan MS5800 is a multi-technology system offering these modular technologies in one instrument:

  • Eddy Current
  • Magnetic Flux Leakage
  • Remote Field
  • IRIS Ultrasound

MultiScan MS-5800E Edy Current Key Features

  • 4 simultaneous frequencies per input
    This feature allows inspection speed up to 2 m/s with 4 absolute and 4 differential frequencies without signal distortion.
  • Electronic probe balancing
    No separate external reference probe is required for absolute channel operation.
  • 4 ECT inputs and up to 64 multiplexed channels The MS-5800E can support a large number of ECT channels to perform array-probe inspection. Compared to single channel inspection, the array-probe technology allows faster and easier surface coverage.

MultiScan MS-5800R RFT and MFL Key Features

  • RFT with up to four different frequencies and real-time mixes
    This feature allows more flexibility for mixing and defect validation. The detection and sizing of flaws at the support plate becomes easier with multifrequency inspections and dual-driver operations.
  • RFT with frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 250 kHz
    The higher frequency available with the MS5800R extends the RFT inspection to thinner materials with lower permeability, such as the stainless steel 400 series and other ferromagnetic alloys.
  • High-speed MFL inspection
    The MFL technique is a good complement to RFT inspection. R/D Tech® high-saturation probes offer very good performance in tubes ranging from 0.75 in. to 1.5 in. in diameter.

MultiScan MS-5800U IRIS Key Features

  • Setup wizard
    Simplifies equipment calibration for different tube diameters and materials. The wizard also generates the reporting code for the inspection.
  • Real-time gain and gate controls
    UT settings can be modified during the C-scan acquisition to quickly optimize signal detection.
  • Real-time and continuous color C-scans
    No missed flaws caused by operator fatigue with C-scan displays. Enhance the quality and appearance of your reports by including color maps and cross-section views of defects.
  • Full tube length recording capability
    Analyze data offline and assess damages with the customer.
