TUBE INSPECTION – ECT, RFT &MFL
Tube Inspection with Eddy Current Testing (ECT)
- Condensers
- Feed water heaters
- Heat exchangers
- Air conditioners
Eddy current testing is a noncontact method used to inspect non ferromagnetic tubing. This technique is suitable for detecting and sizing metal discontinuities such as corrosion, erosion, wear, pitting, baffle cuts, wall loss, and cracks in nonferrous materials.
Tube Inspection with an Internal Rotating Inspection System (IRIS) for Ferrous and Nonferrous Materials
- Boilers
- Feed water heaters
- Air coolers
- Heat exchangers
The ultrasonic IRIS option is used to inspect a wide range of materials, including ferrous, nonferrous, and nonmetallic tubing. This technique detects and sizes wall loss resulting from corrosion, erosion, wear, pitting, cracking, and baffle cuts. Olympus digital IRIS inspection technology is used extensively as a prove- up technique for remote field testing, magnetic flux leakage, and eddy current inspections.
