A focused inspection process designed to turn
technical requirements into reliable,
actionable information.
01
UNDERSTAND
Understand the Requirement
The project-specific
requirement that targets the combined application of low-frequency eddy
currents with magnetic saturation to detect surface and subsurface defects in
ferromagnetic components.
02
INSPECT
Inspect with Purpose
A SLOFEC probe saturates
the material magnetically while low-frequency eddy currents are induced into
the material, which includes carbon steel material under coatings and linings
in storage tank, pipelines, pressure vessel and other industrial components.
03
ANALYSE
Analyse the Findings
Evaluates for discrimination
of the near-surface and far-surface defects by analysing the phase angle of the
eddy current signal.
04
REPORT
Report for Action
A SLOFEC test report with
defect details evaluated against project-specific criteria is issued.
