This interesting article by M. Sebastian, Technical Director at Sui Generis Inspection Consultants and M. Ross, Inspection Engineer at N-Sea Aberdeen titled ‘The Generation of Magnetic Fields in Oversized and Complex Geometries Using Flexible A.C. Cables‘ (2020) looks at the use of A.C. electromagnetic cables on structural members that exceed operational limitations on diameter and complex geometry.
The piece analyses existing subsea methodologies and problem areas, viable alternative magnetic particle inspection (MPI) techniques using different configurations of flexible cable, an exploration of best practice in MPI inspection and suggests new ways of inspection using electromagnetic flexible cables.
The article features the System 3 Subsea MPI unit. TVC offers a range of MPI consumables and equipment for all your MPI needs. Contact us if you have any special requirements, we’re certain we can assist with your project.
