MultiScan MS5800 for Tube Inspection

The MultiScan MS5800 is a multi-technology system offering these technologies:

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

MS 5800E Tube Inspection with Eddy Current Testing (ECT)

• Condensers
• Feedwater heaters
• Heat exchangers
• Air conditioners

Eddy current testing is a noncontact method used to inspect nonferromagnetic tubing. This technique is suitable for detecting and sizing metal discontinuities such as corrosion, erosion, wear, pitting, baffle cuts, wall loss, and cracks in nonferrous materials.

• Two coils are excited with an electrical current, producing a magnetic field around them. The magnetic fields penetrate the tube material and generate opposing alternating currents in the material. These currents are called eddy currents.
• Any defects that change the eddy current flow also change the impedance of the coils in the probe.
• These changes in the impedance of the coils are measured and used to detect defects in the tube.

MultiScan MS 5800E Key Features

This feature allows for inspection speeds up to 2 m/s with four frequencies on absolute and differential channels, 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 MultiScan™ MS 5800E can support a large number of ECT channels to perform array probe inspections. Compared to single-channel inspection, the array probe technology allows for faster and easier surface coverage.
