Remote Field Testing
Read MoreRemote Field Testing is an electromagnetic examination which utilizes the through transmission effect to produce a resulting field that is affected by anomalies. It is measured a few or more tube diameters away from the AC excitation source without any tube magnetization or saturation. The remote field phenomenon is an electromagnetic testing technique used primarily for in-service, baseline, or QC inspection of ferromagnetic tubing and piping.
-
Analyst ND System Inspection
Read MoreHorizon Testing Inc. is pleased to offer the Analyst ND (Near Drum) inspection system to our clients. A computer controlled, automated ultrasonic inspection system, Analyst ND was developed and manufactured specifically for the purpose of providing thickness measurements of tubes on the mud and steam drums of boiler generating banks.
