MFE has announced the launch of the MFE PulsePro, a new pulsed eddy current inspection system designed to perform fast screening for corrosion under insulation (CUI). Built to operate without requiring shutdown time, the MFE PulsePro enables inspection teams to evaluate asset condition without removing insulation, halting operations, performing surface preparation, or using couplant.
Dylan Duke, CEO of MFE Inspection Solutions, emphasised the critical nature of the problem the system addresses. “CUI is one of the most expensive problems faced by oil and gas and other heavy industries,” he said. “Teams need answers fast, without costly shutdowns. And that’s just what the PulsePro gives you: fast, actionable data, without having to remove insulation or halt operations.”
Traditional CUI inspections typically require insulation removal, access planning, and prolonged shutdowns, particularly when screening large areas. During the wait for planned outages, corrosion and wall thinning continue to develop, allowing both the problem and associated maintenance costs to escalate.
The PulsePro was developed to address this challenge, enabling rapid, in-service pre-assessment on insulated piping, vessels, tanks, and structural components, including in high-temperature environments where downtime and rework prove costly. The system can take readings on stainless steel, features an EMAT probe for straightforward handoff and data confirmation, and requires no subscription for purchase and use.
Jason Acerbi, CTO and VP of USA sales at MFE, explained the practical design philosophy behind the system. “PEC is most valuable when it’s used the way inspection teams actually work—screen fast, document clearly, and hand off clean results for confirmation,” he said. “The MFE PulsePro was designed for multi-skill teams in the field, with built-in documentation, integrated thermal and visual imaging, and a probe-handle readout that speeds up checks. The goal is simple: help teams find the right targets sooner, without removing insulation or stopping operations.”
MFE supports thousands of inspection teams worldwide, delivering training and technical guidance across a wide range of advanced NDT workflows. The company is recognised for helping customers select, deploy, and support best-in-class inspection tools from leading manufacturers. When MFE identifies clear needs in the field, the company also develops its own solutions—including the MFE Detect LW and the newly launched MFE PulsePro.
