Experienced EMAT Specialists
We deliver advanced Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) inspection services, offering non-destructive testing solutions for detecting surface and subsurface flaws, as well as accurately measuring material thickness in conductive materials. EMAT is a sophisticated non-contact ultrasonic testing method that is particularly well-suited for environments where traditional ultrasonic testing may be limited.
At Bravura Inspection, our highly skilled team utilises the latest EMAT technology to conduct precise, non-intrusive inspections without the need for surface preparation or couplants. This makes it an excellent choice for inspecting high-temperature components, rough surfaces, or areas with restricted access. We serve a broad range of industries, including aerospace, power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing, helping our clients ensure the integrity, safety, and performance of their critical assets.
What is EMAT?
How Does EMAT Work?
EMAT generates ultrasonic waves directly in the material through electromagnetic induction, eliminating the need for couplants or physical contact. The waves travel through the material and reflect off flaws or boundaries. Sensors capture the reflected signals, which are analysed to determine the presence and characteristics of defects.
Benefits of EMAT
Non-Contact Testing
EMAT operates without the need for couplants or surface contact, making it highly effective for testing hot, painted, oxidised, or rough surfaces. This advantage also reduces setup time and contamination risks, especially in high-temperature or hazardous environments.
Versatile Application
High Precision
EMAT delivers highly accurate and repeatable results, enabling the detection of corrosion, cracking, wall thinning, and other critical flaws. It is also capable of measuring material thickness with excellent precision, making it a trusted tool for long-term asset monitoring.
Efficiency
Because EMAT requires minimal surface preparation and no coupling medium, it significantly speeds up inspection times. This leads to more efficient workflows, less downtime, and cost savings for clients—especially in large-scale or remote applications where traditional methods are less practical.
