OPERATIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

The ARC MFL tool incorporates a

magnetic flux leakage (MFL) module
that deploys Hall-effect sensors in the
Axial, Radial, and Circumferential pipe
axes. The ARC tools tri-axial sensor
array records a high-resolution map of
flux leakage anomalies such as those
produced by pipeline appurtenances
and metal loss defects. Comprehensive
mapping of three discrete magnetic
field vectors facilitates superior feature
detection, identification, and sizing
during the analysis process. The ARC
tool series may be run as a stand-alone
high-resolution MFL survey or in combination with the Radian Deformation
tool.
