ELMSFORD, NY, June 11, 2018—Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC), a leader in nondestructive testing, is celebrating 90 years of designing and supplying innovative inspection instruments and systems for metal manufacturers throughout the world.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) has been around for many years, but what we are seeing today is a swift growth in when it needs to be used. More and more makers of stainless steel products are finding they must insist on the highest quality possible raw stock for their production needs.

A recent test system supplied to a producer of titanium tubes for nuclear applications incorporates MAC’s (Magnetic Analysis Corp.) Echomac® FD-6A ultrasonic instrumentation with TACTIC’s (TAC Technical Instrument Corp.) ultrasonic transducer immersion tank, mechanical handling, controls, and “spin the tube” conveyors to provide a complete turnkey installation.

Magnetic Analysis Corp. has recently introduced a new Rotoflux® AC flux leakage tester. The highly sensitive AC Flux Leakage technology is especially well suited to test hot rolled black steel bars and rods that have surface conditions which used to make finding shallow defects very difficult, if not impossible.

Capable of detecting the very small mandated notches dictated by the aerospace, nuclear, and medical industries. Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC) has recently supplied an ultrasonic test system to a major finishing processor of bars for medical components.

Magnetic Analysis Corporation is sad to report the passing of our Chairman and long-time President, William S. (“Bill”) Gould on March 14th. Bill Gould succeeded his father as President of Magnetic Analysis Corp. (MAC) in 1964 and remained in that role until 2007, a remarkable 42-year run in which he successfully built MAC from a small, U.S.-oriented eddy current testing company into a global leader in eddy current, ultrasonic, and flux leakage equipment and services.

The Echomac® 25mm Rotary provides 100% coverage at high throughput rates on thin wall product ranging from 5 to 25mm diameter, and is especially well suited for challenging applications requiring high performance, such as tubular product for nuclear and aerospace installations.

With the ever-increasing demand for small diameter stainless and specialty bars, tubes, and wires for critical applications such as automotive, medical, and aerospace, specifications are becoming more restrictive, therefore placing extreme pressure on the productivity of nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment.

Magnetic Analysis Corp. has just delivered a single channel Multimac eddy current off-line test system designed to meet ASTM 999 (American Society for Testing Materials) specifications for testing welded stainless steel pipe.

Automotive manufacturers require that all mission-critical parts must be manufactured from the highest quality material available to the raw material purchaser. Many ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials), API (American Petroleum Institute), and EN (European) specifications exist because the manufacturers of these parts must assure their customers that they meet all quality requirements.
