R. T. Co. researchers identified an innovative technology, the Remote Field Eddy Current technique(RFT), and during the past ten years have successfully incorporated it into a variety of tools for the inspection of heat exchangers, boilers, reactors, pipelines, downhole casing and water lines... Field operations consist of 20 truck-mounted units used for radiographic inspections of new pipelines and related facilities using internal crawlers and external gamma ray methods. In-house manufacturing capabilities include electromagnetic probe fabrication and light machining, as well as electronic board preparation and final system assembly.

DEF

Appareil émettant une onde électromagnétique. Au fur et à mesure que l'appareil avance dans la conduite, toute anomalie métallurgique de la paroi (ex. : usure) affecte le temps de propagation et l'amplitude de l'onde. La paroi de la conduite est donc auscultée de façon continue. Cette technique permet d'identifier les pertes de métal.
