EMAT (ELECTROMAGNETIC ACOUSTIC TRANSDUCER)
Amerapex’s Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) testing offers a versatile, non-destructive method for inspecting critical industrial assets. Unlike conventional ultrasonic testing, EMAT does not require a couplant, making it ideal for inspecting rough, coated, or high-temperature surfaces. This technique provides 100% volumetric inspection coverage, enabling the detection of internal and surface-breaking defects such as corrosion, cracks, and weld anomalies in materials like carbon steel and exotic alloys. EMAT is particularly effective for applications including pipeline assessments, weld inspections, fired and unfired furnace tube evaluations, tank inspections, and flare stack examinations. Its portability, rapid scanning capabilities, and repeatability for corrosion detection make it a valuable tool for maintaining the integrity and safety of industrial operations.
