Industrial Degauss provides professional degaussing services across Canada, eliminating residual magnetism that interferes with welding, accelerates wear in rotating machinery, and disrupts industrial operations. Our demagnetizing techniques stabilize welding arcs and extend the working life of components such as rotors, turbines, and pipelines used throughout the oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing sectors.
If your equipment is affected by magnetic interference, you may hear the issue called degaussing, demagnetizing, or simply demag. All three terms describe the same process: removing unwanted magnetism at its source so welding and machinery operate the way they should. This applies as much to a pipeline crew working the Alberta oil sands as it does to a power plant running rotating equipment in Ontario.
What Is Degaussing?
Degaussing is the process of removing or significantly reducing unwanted magnetic fields in metal components, named for the gauss unit used to measure magnetic field strength. Pipelines and machinery pick up residual magnetism from sources like pipeline inspection gauges, welding currents, machining, proximity to buried iron or overhead power lines, and even a pipe’s orientation during transport. Once magnetism climbs past roughly 50 gauss, welders start seeing arc blow, a deflected arc that causes porosity, incomplete fusion, and failed inspections.

Our Degaussing Services in Canada
Our degaussing services cover a wide range of industrial applications throughout Canada.
Welding Assistance
Magnetized pipes, valves, and fittings cause arc blow and weld defects. We eliminate the magnetism causing the problem, restoring clean, stable welds and keeping crews on schedule.
Rotating Machinery
We demagnetize rotors, turbines, bearings, and other rotating components, reducing bearing wear, improving alignment, and cutting down probe and runout errors caused by residual magnetism.
Industrial grade demagnetizing equipment, the kind used across this industry, can treat steel several inches thick and reach output levels in the thousands of gauss for stubborn materials, without damaging the part being treated. Field technicians measure the magnetic field strength first, then apply a controlled demagnetizing sequence calibrated to the part rather than a generic blanket treatment. Most jobs are completed on-site within a few hours.
When Degaussing Isn’t the Answer
Not every magnetism complaint needs a full demagnetizing service. Mild, low-level magnetism that isn’t causing arc blow or measurable wear can sometimes be managed with standard welding technique adjustments. A quick on-site magnetic field reading is the fastest way to know which situation you’re in.
