Crack Detection with BFET—While the Line Is In Service

 

TesTex also provides pipeline crack detection using Balanced Field Electromagnetic Technique (BFET). This advanced electromagnetic inspection method is specifically suited for identifying crack‑like defects in ferromagnetic materials.

 

BFET Benefits:

• Detects surface‑breaking and near‑surface cracks
• Effective on pipelines under normal operating conditions
• No shutdowns or depressurization required
• Ideal for fatigue, SCC, and weld‑related cracking concerns

 

BFET adds a critical layer of insight for operators managing aging infrastructure or high‑risk pipeline segments.
