Triton RFET System
(Remote Field Electromagnetic Technique)
Triton RFET System
- Utilizes up to eight channels with low signal-to-noise ratio
- Detects and quantifies flaws, including corrosion, erosion, pitting, cracking, metallurgical defects
- ID inspection of straight tubes, U-bends, or small diameter pipes
- Works with ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- ID or OD scale does not affect signal
- Displays high resolution, real time, 3-D color graphics of the scan results
- Results can be saved for further analysis or permanent archiving
Triton RFET System Probes
Triton RFET probes
- Provides full circumferential coverage over entire length of tube or pipe
- Probe sizes from 0.21″ (8mm) to 6″ (150mm)
- Probe fill factor can be as low as 40%
- Single channel probes operate in absolute or differential modes
- Multi-channel probes allow for higher flaw resolution
- Flex probes inspect tube and pipes with bends

Triton RFET System Advantages Over Competing Technologies
Triton RFET System
- Unlike competing products, our Triton RFET system requires minimal surface preparation to be effective
- Efficiency is due to the fact that the our RFET probe does not require a high fill factor and is not affected by scale
- Operates with a wide frequency range (5Hz – 7.5kHz) allowing the system to inspect ferrous and non-ferrous materials
- 300 – 400 tube can be inspected in a 10 – 12 hours shift
- Probe lengths up to 150 feet without signal pre-amplification
- Probes do not use permanent or electo magnets
Other methods of inspection include
Internal Rotating Inspection System – Ultrasound (IRIS UT)
- For IRIS UT, surfaces need to be thoroughly cleaned
- Does not easily penetrate through oxides, scale, deposits and debris
- Slow inspection technique, 100 tubes per shift
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
- For MFL method, surfaces need to be thoroughly cleaned
- MFL probes need very high fill factor
- Cannot determine flaw sizes
