Eddy current surface (crack) testing

ec-works offers eddy current surface testing as a flexible and modern tool to inspect a wide variety of equipment and systems in different industrial branches as for example the detection of chloride induced stress corrosion cracks in austenitic piping systems, reactors or columns. These inspections could be performed even during running processes on high temperate surfaces of up to 200°C (and higher). Conveniently, there is no need to remove coatings or dirt accumulation. Only the isolation has to be dissembled and areas with noticeably rough deposits need to be cleaned (e.g. water-ice-blasted).

Turbine- or compressor blades have also been inspected successfully with our eddy current inspection technology as well as welds at railways cages, cranes or piping-systems. Other tasks for eddy current technology include austenitic wavy compensator systems at power plants and process industries or the inner and outer inspection of high pressure piping in ethylene plants.

Our operators have even tested CFK components such as blades for wind energy converters or car-bodies from the automobile industries.

Our two ET-level III men Ingo Becker and Frank Müller will be your experts to discuss your surface crack tasks. Based on their long time experience they will find sensitive, practical and cost effective eddy current applications to inspect your systems successfully.
