MFL Testing is commonly used in the oil and gas industry to inspect and assess the condition of pipelines, especially those used for transporting hazardous substances. It is an effective method for detecting defects such as corrosion, metal loss, pitting, and cracks, which can compromise the integrity of the pipeline or storage tank.
The advantages of MFL Testing include its ability to detect both internal and external defects and its sensitivity to small defects. It is also suitable for inspecting large areas relatively quickly. However, it is primarily applicable to ferromagnetic materials and may require access to both the inside and outside of the object being tested.
