Triton LFET System
(Low Frequency Electromagnetic Technique)
Triton LFET System
- Utilizes up to eight channels with low signal-to-noise ratio
- Detect flaws, including corrosion cells, hydrogen damage, caustic and phosphate gouging, oxygen pitting, departure from nucleate boiling, ID pitting, corrosion, erosion and can also determine magnetite blockages
- Display high resolution, real time, 3-D color graphics of the scan results
- Results can be saved for further analysis or permanent archiving
Triton LFET System Scanners
Triton LFET Scanners
- Contoured to scan tubes and pipes of any diameter, as well as plates
- Sensors are only a few millimeters in diameter giving greater detection capabilities for smaller flaws such as pitting
- For bends, we have customized curved scanners for scanning the extrados and sides of bends

Advantages Over Competing Technologies
Triton LFET System
- Unlike competing products, our Triton LFET system requires minimal surface preparation to be effective
- Efficiency is due to the fact that the our LFET scanner is a no-contact method; the scanner surface containing the sensors does not touch the surface being tested
- Operates at low frequencies (usually 10Hz or lower), therefore; the electromagnetic field is not affected by any non-magnetic deposits, including iron oxide/scale
- 2,000 – 3,000 linear feet of surface material can be scanned in a 10-12 hour shift with one inspection team
- Scanning can be conducted from skyclimbers or hard scaffolding
Other methods of inspection include
Ultrasound (UT)
- For ultrasound, surfaces need to be sandblasted, or spot-prepared for individual discreet UT thickness readings.
- The ultrasound method does not provide rapid scanning coverage; UT merely involves spot checks
ElectoMagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT)
- For ElectroMagnetic Acoustic Transducer method, surfaces need to be sandblasted
- The EMAT method does not provide rapid scanning coverage, EMAT only scans a strip less that one-quarter-inch (¼″) wide
X-Ray (RT)
- X-Ray methods have obvious deficiencies, including getting coverage and limitations due to testing while other outage activities are occurring
