Bureau Veritas Capabilities in Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) Electromagnetic Array (EMA) Field Gradient Imaging (FGI) PVERITAS | Move Forward with ConfidenceWhat is ACFM? > ACFM is a fast electromagnetic testing for finding cracks through coating. ane ‘ACFM, EMA, FGI Presentation 2Introduction to ACFM, EMA, FGI > What they are used for? « To detect and size any crack through coating, mainly as a replacement for conventional Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) or Penetrant Testing (PT). « So, no need to remove the paint off and no need to clean the part. It just works through any coating, dust, scale and dirt. > What materials can be tested? Any conductive materials can be tested. (Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, almost any metal, ...) > On what type of coating it can operate? « It can operate through any non-conductive coating up to 5mm thickness. « It also works through most conductive coatings such as Galvanised coating, Aluminium spray coating, etc. ACFM, EMA, FGI PresentationIntroduction to ACFM, EMA, FGI > What is the smallest crack we can detect? Any crack deeper than 1mm and longer than 5mm can be reliably detected and sized. > How deep it can penetrate? « It's a surface method testing. However, depends to the material properties, it could detect subsurface defect for a few millimetre deep. > Can we test an equipment while it’s on-service? e Definitely. It can test any surface between -20°C to 500°C. It can be supplemented to any external inspection of equipment while they are online. ACFM, EMA, FGI PresentationWhy ACFM, EMA or FGI? > What is the advantages over MPI and PT? te 2 Completely non-invasive and environmentally friendly No need to remove/re-instatement the paint No need surface preparation It's much faster and other NDT method No need any chemical No need lighting It can measure depth It provides a permanent record of test results It works in low and high temperature . It's easy to deploy rope access . Cost saving due to no need for coating removal and surface preparation ACFM, EMA, FGI Presentation 5What's the difference between them? > ACFM uses only one set of sensors. So, it’s perfect for weld scanning. For wide cap welds, it need 2-3 pass to cover the whole surface. ACFM, EMA, FGI PresentationACFM Results > How the results shown in ACFM? ACFM Normal View: 3D Crack View: CCE APA KCGg YW, ‘ACFM, EMA, FGI PresentationElectromagnetic Array (EMA) uses an array of sensors (normally 8 channel). So it can scan a wide area in one scan.
