optimised for hardness, allowing for easy, reliable bending and consistent quality. Since 1980, over 100 million metres of H&I seamless stainless tubing have been supplied to customers worldwide. The oil and gas offerings include control lines that are resistant to pressure; umbilical tubes with high corrosion resistance; and downhole casing and production tubing that can cope with

diameter. It is suited to challenging applications requiring high precision, such as tubular products for nuclear and aerospace installations. Wall thickness as thin as 0.3mm can be successfully tested. Features include a transformer design that ensures improved signal to noise ratio, enhanced bandwidth, zero channel cross-talk, 8,000 rpm running speed, precision test blocks and transducer holders, convenient adjustment of the transducer angle, and optimum operating safety. The 25mm rotary joins MAC’s line of UT rotaries that range up to 500mm capacity. When used with MAC’s Echomac FD-6/6A instrumentation, the rotary system allows inspection of ID/OD, project to supply oil and gas control and chemical injection lines. The order saw Sandvik providing approximately 100,000 ft of control and chemical injection lines (flatpacks) for a deep-water project offshore Nigeria via its recently opened facility in Brazil. The lines were supplied using Alloy 825, an industry standard material with high mechanical strength and corrosion-resistant properties. The lines can normally take up to 16 weeks to be delivered, but having materials in stock meant Sandvik was able to cut the delivery time to five weeks from placement of the order. Sandvik’s hydraulic and instrumentation tubes are

Magnetic Analysis Corp will be featuring its line of ultrasonic NDT instruments and systems for testing precision tube on Stand I12 in Hall 6. Now celebrating 90 years of designing and manufacturing NDT instruments and systems, MAC will be introducing its new 25mm Echomac ® UT rotary for high speed flaw and dimensional ultrasonic inspection of tube in high precision applications. The Echomac FD6/6A ultrasonic instrument and the company’s latest developments in eddy current and flux leakage test technology will also be featured. The Echomac 25mm rotary for ultrasonic testing provides 100 per cent coverage at high throughput rates on thin wall product ranging from 5 to 25mm Sandvik, a developer and producer of stainless steels, special alloys, titanium and other high-performance materials, has seen double digit growth in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region over the past three years. In 2017 the company established its regional oil and gas headquarters in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to increase delivery of local services and products for customers. In addition, there have been increased activities in Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa and Nigeria, where the company secured a significant

Features include Echohunter ® software, which provides a versatile, intuitive operation with convenient set up and control of all key test parameters on one screen, the ability to move thresholds by selecting and dragging on screen, and a global key to adjust or copy a group of test parameters from one channel to another. TheModel 6A also holds GEQualification for P3TF31 and P29TF82 Class A and B, typically required to meet high level quality standards for aerospace and other critical applications. The Echomac series is used for applications ranging from full body testing of spinning tube and weld zone inspection during production, to 500mm ultrasonic/flux leakage multi-test systems for large diameter OCTG pipe. The company’s engineers will be present at the stand to discuss the full range of MAC test systems, including MultiMac ® eddy current weld and full body inspection of large diameter tube ranging up to 1,300mm, as well as the compact Minimac ® 55 eddy current tester. Magnetic Analysis Corp – USA

longitudinal and transverse flaws, wall thickness and dimensional evaluation including conditions of eccentricity and ovality. The Echomac FD-6/6A achieves a high signal to noise ratio, and includes a wide range of selectable band pass filter settings, precise thickness resolution (1μm) and repeatability and reliability.
