iCAMM | Onestop Integrity

iCAMM
Reduce The Complexity & Cost Of CUI

How It Works

Corrosion and defects alter the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials (e.g. Pipework, Structural steel members), which leads to perturbations in the surrounding magnetic field.
The iCAMM scanner detects these perturbations using .specialized magnetic sensors
The method is non-contact and entirely passive, and can detect defects under cover (e.g., concrete, paint, coatings, insulation, etc.).
The equipment consists of a simple handheld scanner and datalogger, with a normal scanning speed of 2 metre/minute

Operational Advantages & Benefits

Advantages

Completely passive method
No special surface preparation required
Not impacted by surface coverings (e.g., concrete, coatings, insulation) or roughness.
Not affected by moisture, temperature, salt, or any other
environmental conditions.
No seasonal impacts or limitations in repeatability.

Main Benefits

Screen large areas quickly to identify critical areas for more detailed investigations.
Detect both external and internal defects.
Obtain continuous results in a single pass.
Provide quantitative results for engineering analysis.
Reduce uncertainty in structural assessments and increase public safety.

iCAMM Technical Specifications

iCAMMTM (Infrastructure Condition Assessment Magnetic Method) is a small and portable nondestructive testing (NDT) device, consisting of a handheld scanner and data logger that is used to passively detect and record the perturbations in the earth’s magnetic field caused by corrosion and defects in ferromagnetic objects (e.g., steel members and reinforcing steel).

Equipment Description

Mechanical:
Length: 20 cm
Width: 10 cm to 18 cm
Height: 8 cm
Weight: 500 g

Scanning Unit

Function: Positions the sensors and
allows the magnetic field data to be
collected along the length of the object
(e.g., reinforcing steel).

Components

Three primary passive magnetic field sensors (i.e., magnetometers)
for measuring the magnetic field of the object.
Three ancillary passive magnetic field sensors for measuring the
surrounding background and ancillary magnetic fields.
Three accelerometers for detecting irregular changes in (X, Y, Z) velocity.
Rotary wheel encoder for tracking the scanner movement (i.e., travel distance).

Data Logger

Function: Provides control, recording, and visual indication of the data collection process.

Components

Main board that synchronizes the hardware and

software of the sensor assembly.

Memory card to store the collected data (magnetic, velocity and location data).

Power source (rechargeable battery).

Multiple Applications

Storage Tank Inspection -iCAMM technology can detect the location and extent of corrosion both externally or from the inside of the tank.

Surface and Underground Pipeline Inspection - iCAMM detects corrosion, pitting, and cracking in buried pipes from the surface, even through coatings or insulation.CUI inspection and corrosion mapping.
