Magnaflux, a provider of non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions for Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) manufacturers, oilfield and pipeline inspection companies, power generation companies and refineries, has introduced its Y-2 AC Electromagnetic Yoke, an ergonomically designed AC electromagnetic yoke engineered to enhance productivity and minimize operator arm and wrist fatigue. It generates a robust AC magnetic field, ensuring reliable detection of surface indications during magnetic particle testing.

Lightweight and equipped with an ergonomic grip and trigger, the Y-2 meets the rigorous demands of fieldwork. Its field-swappable cord and isolated trigger switch make it highly serviceable, ensuring that a damaged cord doesn’t halt operations.
