Portable emi machine

A truck equipped with a portable electromagnetic inspection (EMI) machine, comprising:

• a flat bed adapted to mount the portable EMI machine;
• the portable EMI machine comprising:
• an input port coupled to a scanning tunnel and adapted to receive a tubular for passing through the scanning tunnel;
• the scanning tunnel comprising an excitation coil configured to induce an eddy current in a surface of the tubular passing through the scanning tunnel;
• and
• an output port coupled to the scanning tunnel and adapted to allow the tubular to exit from the scanning tunnel;
• and
• a mechanical turntable comprising:
• an upper base having a circular shaped protrusion extending from a bottom side of the upper base;
• and
• a lower base having a recess formed on a top side of the lower base to receive the protrusion when the upper base and lower base are coupled together to form the mechanical turn table,
• wherein the mechanical turntable is adapted to:
• mount the portable EMI machine on the flat bed;
• and
• adjust an orientation of the portable EMI machine with respect to the truck.

A method for performing an operation of a wellsite, comprising:

• dispatching, to the wellsite prior to performing the operation, a truck equipped with a portable electromagnetic inspection (EMI) machine, comprising:
• a flat bed adapted to mount the portable EMI machine;
• the portable EMI machine comprising:
• an input port coupled to a scanning tunnel and adapted to receive a tubular for passing through the scanning tunnel;
• the scanning tunnel comprising an excitation coil configured to induce an eddy current in a surface of the tubular passing through the scanning tunnel;
• and
• an output port coupled to the scanning tunnel and adapted to allow the tubular to exit from the scanning tunnel;
• and
• a mechanical turntable adapted to:
• mount the portable EMI machine on the flat bed;
• and
• adjust an orientation of the portable EMI machine with respect to the truck;
• performing EMI to detect a defect of the tubular, wherein the tubular with the defect is rejected from being use in the operation of the wellsite;
• and
• facilitating, by at least rejecting the tubular with the defect, the operation of the wellsite.
