The ACS A1270 EMAT is an advanced EMAT ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for professional non-destructive testing (NDT) and corrosion control without the use of coupling gel. The instrument uses innovative EMAT (Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducer) technology with pulse magnetization, which makes it possible to measure the thickness of metal objects without direct liquid coupling to the surface.

The great advantage of the ACS A1270 EMAT is that the instrument can perform measurements directly through:

• paint

• rust

• coating

• dirty or rough surfaces

…without extensive surface preparation. This makes A1270 ideal for corrosion control of pipelines, tanks, ships, offshore installations and industrial steel structures.

Why choose ACS A1270 EMAT?

✔ Contactless thickness measurement with EMAT technology
The ACS A1270 measures without the use of coupling gel or liquid.

✔ Measurement through painting and coating
Can measure through coating and paint up to approximately 1.5 mm without including the coating in the result.

✔ No permanent magnet = easier scanning
The innovative pulse magnetization eliminates strong magnetic adhesion to steel surfaces, making scanning faster and easier than traditional EMAT systems.

✔ Perfect for rough and corroded surfaces
A1270 works effectively on rusty, rough and untreated metal surfaces without sanding or cleaning.

✔ A-Scan and B-Scan function
Provides both digital measurement value and graphical signal analysis for higher inspection reliability.

✔ Suitable for small pipe diameters
The EMAT sensor with a small contact area makes it possible to inspect pipes down to approximately 15 mm diameter.

✔ Ideal for demanding industrial environments
Perfect for offshore, shipping, energy and oil & gas.
