Eddy Current Test Systems
Eddy Current Testing is based on inducing electron flow (eddy currents) in electrically conductive material. Any defect in the material such as cracks, pitting, wall loss, or other discontinuities, disrupts the flow of the eddy currents. Higher frequency signals are used to detect near-surface flaws while lower frequencies are used for deeper, subsurface flaw detection.
Eddy Current Testing machines utilize encircling coils and/or current probes to test complex shapes as well as O.D.s and I.D.s.
Advantages of Eddy Current Testing:
-
Faster inspections
-
Simpler, faster inspection of complex shapes
-
Simpler scan patterns and lower cost scanners
-
Computer-based data records and reports
