Magnetic Thickness Detector (MTD-E)

The Magnetic Thickness Detector (MTD) is a 1-11/16 in O.D electromagnetic corrosion measuring
instrument primarily run through tubing with the unique ability to simultaneously inspect tubing
and the casings behind it. The integrity of the casing string can be evaluated with neither the
requirement for costly workover rig, nor the time-consuming removal of the tubing completion.
