Product catalog summary
Overview of Magnetic Flux Leakage Testing with CIRCOFLUX
This document provides a detailed explanation of the Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) testing method using the CIRCOFLUX system, focusing on its application, advantages, and technical specifications.
1. MFL Method and Application
The Alternating Field MFL method involves a rotating probe that scans the surface of test materials helically. This method is highly sensitive to surface defects, detecting flaws as small as 0.1 mm in depth. It is particularly effective for testing hot-rolled ferrous bars, as it leaves no residual magnetism, eliminating the need for demagnetization.
2. Standards and Recommendations
The European standard EN 10221 recommends the MFL method for assessing the surface quality of hot-rolled bars and rods. The CIRCOFLUX system is essential for ensuring high-quality production of round ferrous rolled bars, replacing subjective methods like magnetic particle testing.
3. CIRCOFLUX System Components
The CIRCOFLUX DS system includes a Power cabinet and an Electronics cabinet, integrating all control and monitoring functions. It uses digital technology for automatic, high-resolution flaw testing and is compatible with other testing systems for comprehensive quality assurance.
4. Sensor Systems
The system offers various rotating heads (Ro 75, Ro 100, Ro 130, Ro 180) designed for different material diameters and transportation speeds. These heads ensure reliable detection of material flaws and are adaptable to various testing environments.
5. Economic and Operational Benefits
The CIRCOFLUX system is cost-efficient, reducing the need for spare parts inventory and operator training. It supports remote servicing and network integration, enhancing operational flexibility and reliability.
6. Conclusion
The CIRCOFLUX DS system is a top-of-the-range model for MFL testing, offering robust, reliable, and economical solutions for production lines, particularly in rolling mills.
