Eddy Current Testing (ET)

Fast surface crack detection and tube inspection on conductive materials.

Eddy Current Testing (ET) induces circulating currents in a conductive part; flaws disturb those currents and are detected as impedance changes. It needs no couplant, works through thin coatings and is extremely fast for surface crack screening and heat-exchanger tube inspection.

Typical Applications

  • Heat-exchanger and condenser tube inspection
  • Surface crack detection on conductive alloys
  • Coating and conductivity verification
  • Weld toe inspection on painted structures

Why TESKO NDT

  • No couplant — clean and fast
  • Inspects through thin coatings
  • Excellent for tube bundles
  • High throughput screening

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — eddy current penetrates thin non-conductive coatings, so painted and coated welds can be screened for cracks without stripping the coating.
