MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage)
MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage)
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) is a non-destructive testing technique used to detect and assess corrosion, erosion, and wall loss in ferromagnetic materials such as steel pipelines, tanks, and structures. MFL works by generating a magnetic field in the material and detecting leaks in the magnetic field caused by discontinuities or defects.
Applications of Magnetic Flux Leakage :
- Pipeline Inspection.
- Tank Inspection.
- Structural Inspection.
- Rail Inspection.
- Storage Tank Floors: MFL can be used to inspect the floors of above-ground storage tanks for corrosion, erosion, or defects. It can assess the condition of tank bottoms from the outside without the need for tank entry or removal of contents.
Advantages of Magnetic Flux Leakage :
- High Sensitivity: MFL offers high sensitivity to small defects, providing accurate detection and sizing of corrosion, erosion, and wall loss in ferromagnetic materials.
- Full Coverage
- Real-Time Data: MFL provides real-time data and imaging of the inspected area, allowing for immediate analysis and decision-making regarding the disposition of components or structures.
- Detection of Wall Thinning: MFL is particularly effective in detecting wall thinning caused by corrosion, erosion, or mechanical damage, providing valuable information about the remaining wall thickness and structural integrity.
