About Eddy Current Testing of Heat Exchanger Tubes (ECT)
ITE has been performing Eddy Current Testing of tubes for more than a decade.
EDDY CURRENT INSPECTION is based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and is used to identify or differentiate among a wide variety of physical, structural, and metallurgical conditions in electrically conductive ferromagnetic and non ferro magneticmetals and metal parts.
Because eddy currents are created using an electromagnetic induction technique, the inspection method does not require direc telectrical contact with the part being inspected. The eddy current method is adaptable to high-speed inspection and because it is nondestructive, can be used to inspect an entire production output if desired. The method is based onindirect measurement,and the correlation between the instrument readings and the structural characteristics and serviceability of the parts being inspected must be carefully and repeatedly established
AtITE, we use Olympus MS 5800 for Eddy Current Testing of Tubes in various components like Heat Exchangers, Reactors, Condensers, etc. All those tubes which are non ferromagnetic in nature like made from the alloys of Aluminium,Copper, Austenitic Stainless Steel, Titanium, etc. are tested. We have a formidable customer base for ECT like IOCL, NFL, KSFL, NPL, IFFCO, etc. to namea few.
Locations servced are Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Nepal and rest of India.
Advanced Flaw Detection for Critical Assets
ECT provides high-sensitivity inspection for heat exchanger and condenser tubes, swiftly detecting corrosion, cracks, and wall thinning. Equipped with interchangeable probe coils and advanced flaw characterization software, the system adapts to varied tube diameters, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Automated alarms and clear displays support prompt operator response.
Data Integrity and Effortless Reporting
All measurements are securely stored on internal flash memory or exportable via USB. Comprehensive automated reports can be generated instantly in PDF or CSV formats, facilitating compliance and data analysis. User-friendly interfaces and compatibility with multiple communication protocols simplify setup and result management.
Rugged, Portable, and Adaptable Design
Engineered for on-site testing, the portable ECT unit weighs just 58 kg, includes an IP54 water and dust-resistant enclosure, and operates between 0C and 50C. Factory calibration with on-site verification ensures ongoing testing accuracy, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments experienced in India.
FAQs of Eddy Current Testing of Heat Exchanger Tubes (ECT):
Q: How does Eddy Current Testing (ECT) identify defects in heat exchanger tubes?
A: ECT detects electromagnetic response differences caused by flaws such as cracks, corrosion, and wall thinning. Customized coil probes (absolute or differential) for each tube size, combined with high-sensitivity electronics, enable reliable identification of defects as small as 0.5 mm along the entire tube length.Q: What types of probe coils are compatible with various tube materials and sizes?
A: The system supports absolute and differential coil probes, tailored to work with a range of ferrous or non-ferrous tubes. Users can inspect diameters typically between 6 mm and 50 mm, with probes suited for materials like stainless steel, copper, brass, and titanium.Q: When should heat exchanger tubes be tested using ECT?
A: ECT is ideal during routine maintenance, shutdowns, or as part of scheduled integrity assessments. Early detection of defects enables timely repairs and helps prevent unexpected failures in critical environments, such as power plants and refineries.Q: Where can this ECT system be used safely and efficiently?
A: With its portable 58 kg build and IP54-rated enclosure, the ECT system is suitable for on-site environments that are exposed to water or dust, including power generation facilities, petrochemical plants, and HVAC installations across India.Q: What is the procedure for using the ECT system on-site?
A: Operators connect the coil probe to the unit, insert it along the tube (up to 20 meters), and initiate the scan via the user interface. Visual and audio alarms indicate flaw locations, while internal and USB flash storage automatically logs results for later export and reporting.Q: How does automated reporting and data storage benefit users?
A: Automated report generation creates standardized documents (PDF or CSV), enabling fast compliance and easy sharing of inspection results. Secure internal memory and USB support provide flexible, redundant storage options.
