Overview
Introducing TSC PACE
This document describes the operation and use of the PACE™ Instrument and its accompanying
software.
PACE™ is an advanced portable NDE tool designed to inspect metallic materials for surface breaking
cracks. It is based on an inspection technique called Alternating Current Field Measurement
(ACFM®) which has a proven track record in the oil and gas industry.
ACFM® is an electromagnetic technique that uses a probe to induce a small uniform AC current to
flow in the surface of the material under test. Defects in the material will disturb this current flow
and this disturbance will be reflected in the magnetic field above the surface of the material.
Sensors in the probe measure the disturbances and produce characteristic signals when flaws are
present. Analysis of the magnitude of the disturbance gives a prediction of the depth of the defect.
