Tube Inspection – Eddy Current
Tube Inspection – Eddy Current
This technique is ideal for detection and sizing of cracks, corrosion, erosion, and mechanical damage. It is widely used in the Refining, Petrochemical and Power generation Industries for inspection of non-ferromagnetic tubes.
EC is a very fast inspection method. A typical inspection rate for a 5-6 meter stainless steel heat exchanger is up to 800 tubes over a 12-hour shift. This depends both on how clean the tubes are and the number of defects or indications needing evaluation.
