OVERVIEW
Magnetic Analysis Corporation
MAC Eddy Current, Ultrasonic and Flux
Leakage Instruments and Systems
Magnetic Analysis Corporation produces a complete
line of non-destructive testing instruments and systems.
Eddy current, ultrasonic and flux leakage test
instruments and inspection systems
Inspect bar, rod, tubing, wire, strip and metal parts
on - or off-line
Detect surface, subsurface, internal, ID and
OD defects
Measure wall thickness, OD, ID, ovality and
eccentricity in tube and pipe
Detect variations in alloy, heat treatment,
hardness, grade
EDDY CURRENT
Encircling/Segment Coil Testers
Encircling Coil Testers to detect transverse and non-continuous surface and
subsurface flaws.
In encircling coil instruments, the product being tested is passed through an electrical test coil which has been
excited by an alternating current of a given frequency. This induces a flow of eddy currents around the test
material. Imperfections or flaws stimulate variations in the eddy current pattern which the instrument detects and
indicates to the user. The coil system is available as an absolute, null, or combination of both modes. Generally,
MAC encircling coil instruments are used to detect surface and subsurface flaws, including weld-line defects in
material with a uniform cross section. These flaws can also be detected in a similar manner using tangent or
segment coils to inspect a portion of the circumference, such as the weld zone.
ERIC
Optimum Flaw Discrimination, Multiple Channel Eddy
Current Testers
MACs most sophisticated and versatile eddy current
instrument. The Eric Series features simultaneous operation of multiple channels, either null or absolute, over a
broad frequency range of 1 KHz to more than 2.5 MHz,
depending on test coil selection. Standard features
include signal enhancement, multiple threshold selection
with individual output relays and flaw verify system
that virtually
eliminates false
signals resulting
from random,
extraneous sources.

drive mechanism and saturation coil are shown in the

EDDY CURRENT
Encircling/Segment Coil Testers
MAC 145
Low Cost Single Channel Tester
The economic, rack mount MAC 145 is a single
channel tester (differential or absolute) with one
output for dedicated test applications.
MINIMAC
MAC 250
High Power, Expands to Dual Channel
Windows- based, features a high quality flat panel
display and environmental cabinet. Expandable to
two channels, absolute or null, the MAC 250 has the
power to handle virtually all testing applications, on
or off-line.
MAC 150/175
Compact, Versatile, Single or Dual Channel Tester
The MAC 150 Includes a full range selection of all
test parameters, and up to six output modules, based
on different thresholds. Single channel, expandable
to dual channel operation in differential and/or
absolute mode.
The MAC 175 with its optional separate monitor and
choice of keyboard or remote keypad offers greater
versatility than the single chassis MAC 150 while
retaining the same test features.
MINIMAC
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
ERIC / MAC Series Contact MAC for specific product applications
Detect short surface and some subsurface defects, on or off line, in wire, bar and tube.
Inspect welded tube for short ID or OD defects, either weld zone only or full circumference.
Test conductive materials including carbon steels, stainless alloys, and non ferrous metals
Test uniform cross sectional material, including squares, rectangles, hex and round
Use as dedicated testers for production inspection applications with minimal operator requirements
Inspect small diameter wire or tube for short surface defects
Check continuity and locate welds in single and multi conductor insulated wire and cable
EDDY CURRENT
Rotary Probe Testers
Rotary Probe Testers to Detect Seam-Type Surface Flaws.
In rotary probe instruments the material under test moves longitudinally through rotating probes, creating a
helical search pattern. As the probe passes over a defect, variations in the induced eddy current pattern are
detected. The minimum flaw length which can be
consistently detected is a function of the speeds of
the rotary probe and throughput of the material.
The latest model Rototesters and RotoBartesters
feature continuously variable high speed rotaries
(1800-6000 RPM), four-probe headplates, and

ULTRASONIC
Ultrasonic Testers
Ultrasonic Testers for Surface and Internal Flaw Detection and ID, OD and Wall
Thickness Measurement
In ultrasonic testing, high-frequency sound vibrations are transmitted into material by a transducer. The test
instrument then analyzes the signals which are received using either a pulse-echo or through-transmission
method. In the pulse-echo mode, the transmitting transducer also serves as the receiver
and analyzes the reflected signal with respect to amplitude and time. In the throughtransmission mode, the signal is received by a separate transducer which analyzes the
amplitude loss of signal. These techniques will indicate material defects, inclusions, and
dimensional changes such as ovality, eccentricity and wall thickness.
Rotary UT System
The ECHOMAC rotary UT system provides
ultrasonic inspection at high throughput speeds
as much as five to ten times faster than
conventional UT testing where the material
must be rotated. Rotating transducers are
available for shear wave configuration (surface
and subsurface defects) and compression-wave
configuration (internal defects and dimensional
measurements such as wall thickness.) Models
are available for inspecting material from 1/4" to
9" (6.35mm to 228.6mm) in diameter at test
speeds up to 400 fpm, depending on the size
and condition of the material.
Immersion UT Testing
Echomac FD Series testers can also be used to
replace older equipment in immersion-type spin
the tube or squirter-type installations, without
replacing transducers. When inspecting hex,
square, or round barstock for internal flaws that
are not detectable with eddy current inspection,
an ECHOMAC fixed transducer system and pressure immersion tank provides a reliable solution.

TESTING SYSTEMS
Magnetic Analysis Corporation
WELDED STAINLESS ALLOY
TUBE ON LINE
An eddy current system for stainless tube could
incorporate a dual channel test, or two separate
instruments testing at different points on the line
to detect weld zone defects and inspect the full
circumference for base metal defects. Test
components would include instruments such as
the MAC 150 or 175 and Coil Platforms.
PARTS TESTING
Standard parts test systems usually
utilize the Varimac eddy current
comparator with one of MACs
parts sorting gates to separate
the parts into three categories
above spec., below spec,
or acceptable. Fasteners,
bearings and similar parts
can be inspected for
conditions such as
hardness and alloy
with this basic system.
