ACFM Inspection:
ACFM Inspection or Alternating Current Field Measurements is used to measure and sizing of surface cracks in weld or parent material whether the component is painted or coated. Normally ACFM Inspection is used as a part of condition monitoring or In-service Inspection requirements. EIWAA is a leading Advanced NDT Inspection company for providing ACFM Inspection for rigs, Platform and Jackets. Our advanced ACFM Inspection Instrument is approved by API ,AWS and ASME and the ACFM Inspection procedures are approved by major oil and gas companies like PDO,QATAR Gas, ADNOC and ARAMCO. Our ACFM Inspection technique combines the advantages of alternating current potential drop(ACPD) technique and Eddy Current testing for detecting and sizing of surface cracks and ability to work without electrical contact.
Benefits of ACFM Inspection:
EIWAA, Leading NDT Inspection Companies in UAE using both Conventional NDT Inspection technique as well as Advanced NDT Inspection methods. Our ACFM Inspection system accompanied by special probes are typically used to obtain higher test sensitivity for non-magnetic conductive materials.
Benefits of ACFM Inspection are as follows,
- ACFM Inspection is applicable for base materials or welds, ferritic or non- ferritic conductive materials
- ACFM Inspection can be used on hot surfaces and underwater
- ACFM Inspection is used to determine the sizing of defects means both depth & length information’s
- ACFM Inspection is used to measure the depth of upto 25mm.
- ACFM Inspection required minimum surface preparations and it can be applied over paint or coatings.
- ACFM Inspection can be utilized for inspecting the welds and parent materials in normal as well as underwater inspection.
Applications of ACFM Inspection:
Our ACFM Inspection Service are widely used in rigs, Platforms, Jackets, Ships &Vessels etc. Some of the ACFM Inspection applications are as follows,
- ACFM Inspection used to determine the detection and sizing of fatigue cracks & hydrogen cracking.
- ACFM Inspection is used in fillet weld joints of offshore & onshore units
- ACFM Inspection for gears, gear tooth, Crank shaft, Cylinder heads, turbines etc.in aerospace industry.
- ACFM Inspection used in Oil/Storage tank terminals for pressure vessel, storage tank and Piping Inspections.
