Eddy Current Testing (ECT)
Service Overview
Surface & Near-Surface Defect Detection
Eddy Current Testing is a non-destructive examination method that uses electromagnetic induction to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities in electrically conductive materials. Changes in the induced eddy currents are evaluated to identify relevant indications and assess material conditionfor evaluation.
Typical Applications
Tubes & Heat Exchanger Tubing
Examination of conductive tubes for discontinuities, localized wall loss and material degradation
Welds & Conductive Components
Inspection of suitable welds and conductive components for surface and near-surface discontinuities
Conductive Industrial Components
Examination of conductive components for cracks and other relevant discontinuities without damaging the inspected material.
Inspection Objectives
Detect Surface & Near-Surface Defects
Identify cracks and other discontinuities at or close to the material surface.
Identify Material Changes
Detect electromagnetic response variations associated with changes in material condition.
Assess Component Integrity
Evaluate eddy-current indications to support assessment of the inspected component's integrity.
