Eddyfi Technologies introduces new MFL corrosion assessment solution

rapidly locate areas of interest thanks to the large info field boxes, giving the position and signal amplitude of the indication. The new Pipescan HD can be used in combination with non-destructive testing instruments. The Swift™ M is a simple and cost-effective portable system optimised for MFL inspections, while the Reddy™ instrument can offer both Eddy Current Array (ECA) and MFL capabilities (MFL optional). In both cases, Pipescan HD MFL data can be visualised on a large, multi- touch display and offers increased probability of detection, rapid scanning and intuitive real-time C-scan imaging.

Pipescan HD more than delivers on that aspect,” said Anne-Marie Allard and Matthew Boat, product managers. Each configuration has been optimised, but not limited, for the detection of small, isolated pitting and general corrosion in coated and uncoated carbon steel pipework. The encoded data allows for rapid mapping of the surfaces (up to 1m/s) and easy identification of areas of interest. The Pipescan HD can scan through non- conductive coating up to 6mm thick and works as an in-service inspection solution. Automatic highlight of areas of interest in the C-Scan using thresholds also simplifies the analysis process. The threshold is adjusted by moving up or down a threshold line on the target level. The inspector can also

Eddyfi Technologies has launched an improved magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection system that elevates the proven technology to a new level for rapid screening of corrosion in ferrous pipes and surfaces. The Pipescan HD™, which is available in three different adjustable configurations to cover diameters ranging from 48mm (1.9") to flat surfaces was designed to give a greater resolution, combined with encoded scanning and intuitive C-Scan imaging for optimal speed, reliability and confidence. “Once again, Eddyfi Technologies is elevating a proven technology to the modern age so that asset owners and inspection teams can obtain rapid, reliable and verifiable data. Confidence is key in inspection campaigns and

The document, which is entitled ‘MAB-4 Basic HDPE Repair Options’, is available free of charge by visiting the PPI’s website and details the various methods and steps for repairing a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline in the field. The MAB-4 Basic HDPE Repair Options is intended as a guide for engineers, users, contractors, code officials, and others for use in the repair of HDPE pressure water piping systems. It includes repairs using electrofusion, fusion and also mechanical systems. Two quick-reference charts are used to explain the alternatives that can be considered to fix various types of leaks.
