Material testing - fast and non-destructive

Since we started offering services to industry our strategy has been to bundle services for the convenience and benefit of our customers. In addition to our innovative cleaning technologies we can now systematically test materials for damage. Using eddy current technology combined with a magnetic field, we can test thick-walled and even coated components, such as pipes, boilers and tanks.

Customer benefits at a glance

High test speed

No coupling aids required

Extensive documentation
The testing can be done without halting production processes, thus offering an enormous cost advantage over conventional methods. Damage can therefore be detected in good time and remedial action duly taken.
  • Testing of membrane tube walls
  • Testing of steel boilers with up to 25 mm wall thickness
  • Testing of boiler bases
  • Testing of steel pipelines with up to 25 mm wall thickness
  • Testing of austenite pipelines with up to 20 mm wall thickness
  • Testing through non-conductive coatings up to 10 mm thick and through other thin conductive coatings
  • Testing on tank bottoms including analysis of top and bottom
  • Testing of tank walls and tops with up to 25 mm wall thickness including analysis of inside/outside
  • Testing of earth-covered horizontal cylinder tanks from the inside
One of the things which can be detected, even from the top, by the combination of the eddy current principle and magnetic field is corrosion which may be hidden to view on the bottom. This non-contacting electromagnetic method has distinct advantages over the existing MFL and UT systems. Any damage on the tested sections can be quickly displayed in colour with the newly developed software. It also generates views of individual surfaces, a coloured general diagram showing any damage and a detailed report of corrosion defects on individual segments.

Fields of application:

  • Differentiation between top and bottom corrosion
  • Differentiation between inside and outside corrosion
  • Testing at temperatures of up to 120°C
  • Detection of corrosion on steel components
  • Detection of corrosion on austenite components
  • Detection of corrosion on duplex steel components
  • Testing through non-conductive coatings
