MAC has cost effective TacTic® “Spin-the-Tube” immersion tank ultrasonic systems which can be used to test tube up to 8” and bar up to 6” diameter, where high through-put speed is not a requirement. The systems locate internal and external defects and inconsistencies in the wall thickness of tubular products.

TacTic’s ultrasonic testers and idlers are specifically designed for the material you need to inspect, including round or flat material of varying sizes as well as tube or pipe welds. The tester and idler sections feed, rotate, and inspect the material.

TacTic’s UT equipment models with immersion tanks work equally well for ultrasonic tube, pipe, and bar inspection in automated production use or in manual, laboratory-type applications. We also offer a wide variety of systems for flat material and tankless testing.

Model 76E “Standard Duty” Testers feature tanks with an inside length from 6″ to 30″ (150-760 mm). The right tester for your operation depends on the number of transducers you need and the types of tests you will be performing. The typical size range for continuous use of “Standard Duty” systems is from 1/4″-4″ (6-100 mm) diameter tubes and bars up to about 2.5″ (63 mm) diameter for solid bars. At slower speeds, these systems may accommodate tubes to 6″ (150 mm) diameter and solid bars to 4″ (100 mm) diameter.
