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.

“Heavy Duty” Testers are powered either by a 7.5 HP motor (76F) or by a 10 HP motor (76G). Test material size for continuous operation ranges from 5/8″ (16 mm) to 8″ (200 mm) for tubes and to 5″ (125 mm) for solid bars. At a reduced speed, testers can accommodate solid bars up to 6″ (150 mm) diameter. The length of testing materials will determine how much horsepower you will need. Drive and idler wheels of 4″ (100 mm) diameter, wider tanks and heavy frame members make these testers suitable for larger materials.
