LINE-CAT

Using the Low Frequency Electromagnetic Technique (LFET), the lightweight, aluminum, TesTex Line-Cat quickly and accurately scans the outer diameter (OD) of ferrous and nonferrous pipes and detects gradual wall loss, pitting, gouging, and other defects.

The Line-Cat come in many variations, and with its modular design, featuring many interchangeable parts and components, the versatile Line-Cat can be quickly adapted to fit many pipes from three inches to xx inches in diameter. (For those pipes less than ten (1o) inches in diameter, the Line-Cat performs 360° scanning. For larger pipes, it scans 120°, or one-third of the circumference, with each pass. Its can also be outfitted with an optional encoder.

The TesTex Line-Cat can be propelled by an optional remote-controlled, magnetic wheeled “crawler,” which is capable of traveling up to ten (10) feet per minute.

The crawler’s contoured top shell supports and stabilizes the main sensor array. The sensor array itself, is made up many scanning pods that contour to the actual geometry of the pipe via a flexible coupling system. The Line-Cat travel around bends and over welds, and all components can operate in Arctic conditions down to -40° Fahrenheit. It scans through uniform scale, rust, or coatings. Scan results are shown on a high-resolution 3D graphics display. In addition, the Line-Cat can be shipped overnight anywhere in North America and within 3-10 days anywhere in the world.
