Magnetic flux leakage

Global Remote offers the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method of Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL). MFL is an effective technique used in the detection of wall-thinning, pitting and corrosion in a variety of steel structures, including storage tanks and pipes. Our engineers have used MFL to survey tanks and pipes in many different industries including oil and gas businesses, chemical companies, liquid storage facilities such as breweries, and food and grain storage. MFL tools are versatile and can be used to detect faults in any steel structure

MFL involves the creation of a powerful magnetic field that is passed through the steel structure. If the structure has no defects, the magnetic flux remains unaffected. Sections of the structure that are defective through corrosion or pitting will begin to leak magnetic flux. This is detected by the machine and the flawed areas are identified. Our engineers are well-trained and have many years of experience with MFL testing. We use sophisticated MFL equipment such as Floormap VS2i or Floormap 3D, which provide accurate data on the severity and exact location of the defects.

For pipeline inspections, we use advanced tools that scan the entire pipe circumference and length, giving detailed information on the condition of the pipe wall. The MFL technology that we use for all of our testing provides high-resolution pictures and a complete set of data that is very useful for making sure your steel structures or pipes are maintained to the highest standard.
