EMG IMPOC for tensile and yield strength

Measurement of tensile and yield strength - EMG IMPOC

EMG IMPOC Measuring Head

EMG IMPOC

Get a clear picture of your material properties such as tensile and yield strength – across the entire length and width of the strip!
As results you'll get less waste, fewer complaints – greater efficiency and quality.

Measuring principle

EMG IMPOC is a magnetic-inductive measuring system. Basically it is used for the automatic, non-destructive inline determination of the mechanical parameters tensile strength and yield strength of ferromagnetic steel strips. Accordingly our solution is used in the production of cold-rolled and surface-finished steel strips, e.g. in:

  • Hot-dip galvanising lines
  • Continuous annealing lines
  • Tinning lines
  • Continuous pickling lines*
  • Further processing lines*
  • Automotive industry

*on request

Trust the market leader with more than 70 successfully installed systems worldwide since 1997!

Technical details

Measuring range IMPOCpro: 

  • Strip thickness: 0.15 – 3.0 mm
  • Strip width: > 500 mm
  • Strip speed: 6 – 900 m/min


Measuring range Power IMPOC:

  • Strip thickness: 0.15 – 6.0 mm
  • Strip width: > 700 mm
  • Strip speed: 6 – 600 m/min

 

Measuring accuracy:

  • IMPOC value: +/- 5 % [A/m2]
  • Tensile strength: +/- 5 % of measuring value [MPa]*
  • Yield strength: +/- 10 % of measuring value [MPa]*
     

*this accuracy will be reached at 90 % of the measured values

Customer benefits

  • Monitoring of material properties during production across the entire strip length and strip width
  • Immediate and targeted process adjustment possible in the event of faulty material properties
  • Improved strip quality and reduction in reinspection, scrapping, devaluation and complaints
  • Insensitive to scale and metal-containing dust from mechanical processing

EMG Sensor

Strip guiding systems serve to keep a strip in the centre of a processing, production or treatment line, or in any other defined position.

Perfect for this industry

Optimum guiding and quality assurance in the steel manufacturing industry with EMG solutions.

EMG IMPOC reliably determines the material properties tensile strength and yield strength without destructive testing. Thanks to our many years of experience, we have a deep understanding of the process, which is essential for the implementation of customer-specific requirements. In general, I find the development of solutions in the team at EMG and in close exchange with our customers exciting, especially for complex activities and tasks.
