Pipecare - Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) Inspection Tool
FromPipecare Group
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) is a fundamental In-Line Inspection technology that has been commercially accessible since 1969. It is recognized for its reliability, simplicity, and efficiency in detecting and sizing defects within pipelines. The technology operates by magnetizing the ferrous material of the pipeline and detecting any disruptions in the magnetic field caused by anomalies such as corrosion or material loss. This allows for precise location accuracy in identifying areas that may require maintenance or repair. PIPECARE Group employs MFL technology in its inspection processes, offering comprehensive pipeline integrity services. The company is a global leader in this field, providing services across more than 83 countries with strategically placed offices to address client needs promptly. Customers rely on PIPECARE Group for flexible solutions that ensure pipeline safety and operational efficiency.Most popular related searches

We use MFL for detection and sizing of general corrosion and other metal loss anomalies, especially circumferentially oriented. MFL tools have limited capability of detection and sizing of girth weld anomalies. Over the years several generations of the MFL systems have been subsequently developed involving significant improvement of their performance specifications.
To clients who operate pipelines that are difficult to inspect, we offer our customized solutions for the following pipeline conditions:
- Low pressure
- Low flow
- High temperature
- Heavy wall thickness
- Sour product
- No pig traps or single-point entry
