• MACFLUX DC DT-3100, which features
the capacity to inspect OCTG from 4
1/2” (114.3mm) through 14” (355.6mm)
plain-end material, or 13 3/8” (339.7mm)
threaded and coupled material for longi-
tudinal and transverse flaws.
outside North America for PITCO’s propri-
etary DC Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) pipe
inspection systems—called the MACFLUX
DC Series—outside of North America.
Staying true to the promise: Pioneered by
PITCO. Provided by MAC. Premium MFL
Test Systems.
• MACFLUX DC DT-2100, which can inspect
OCTG from 2 3/8” (60.3 mm) through
8.00” (203.2 mm) plain-end material or 7
5/8” (193.6mm), threaded and coupled
material for longitudinal and transverse
flaws.
In making the announcement, MAC Presi-
dent and CEO Daniel Lawrence noted that
“this agreement is a natural fit for us as
both companies have invested considera-
ble capital and expertise in truly advancing
their niche in NDT technology. Together, we
can complement each other and extend the
high level of collaboration, performance,
and support that our customers have come
to expect.”
Key to these endeavors are the patented
Electromagnetic Inspection (EMI) units
which feature highly advanced technolo-
gy for testing Oil Country Tubular Goods
(OCTG). The powerful systems can accu-
rately tackle 0.190” to 0.625” wall pipe—
with production speeds up to 200 feet per
minute (1 mps).
As a result of the agreement, MAC will now
be promoting, marketing and servicing
“MACFLUX DC Series”, four-function EMI
units that are specifically designed for high
volume, continuous operation. Created
for steel mills, the MACFLUX DC inspection
units feature proprietary Enhanced Signal
Processing Software (ESP) and are designed
for 24/7 operations with low maintenance
Both systems have an available non-contact
magnetic flux density inspection system
for monitoring variations within the pipe’s
body wall and grade comparator using
Eddy Current technology.
• MACFLUX DC DT-1000, an advanced
inspection unit for threaded and coupled
pipe ranging from 2 3/8” (60.3 mm) to
3 ½” (88.9 mm) OD. The DT-1000 mod-
el features a rotating inspection unit
for longitudinal inspection, providing
variable coverage >100% and a trans-
verse flaw detection system utilizing our
proprietary Hall element sensors, with a
minimum of 130% coverage. The DT-
1000 has an optional wall thickness mon-
itoring system and grade comparator.
Commenting on the new marketing part-
nership, Matt Rutledge, PITCO LLC’s Vice
President, noted, “I’ve been aware of MAC’s
integrity and quality since the first day I
became involved in NDT. Enhancing PITCO’s
leadership in Magnetic Flux Leakage with
such a distinguished reputation and inter-
national presence creates stellar opportu-
nities for both of our companies and our
customers.”
