Will reduce the intensity of the magnetic signal identified and will effect data
quality. It’s a fundamental mistake to cut the cleaning program short.
MFL tools are the best most effective cleaning tools in the industry

EMAT Overview
• EMAT transmitters induce signals that travel through the entire thickness of
inspected material without the need for couplant or angular signals
Sensing area
No couplant required
