The Institute of Metal Physics has developed a portable self-contained firmware system of the MSA type for nondestructive magnetic testing of the physical-mechanical characteristics of steel products. The system integrates new measuring means and an unique software, which controls basic units of the system, magnetization regimes, and the procedure of measurements and calculations.

The system measures the magnetic properties, visualizes and pre-processes the data, stores, accumulates and analyzes the results in automatic or manual regimes. The system estimates the stressed-strained state of steel structures, regimes of thermal treatment, parameters of thermally hardened layers in steel products, and their mechanical characteristics.
