The quality of industrial components has become increasingly important to reduce the risk of costly product and component failures. Proper inspection techniques can help prevent these failures. For example, defects found and corrected in the early stages of manufacturing can reduce the cost of customer returns and extend the life of components.
Magnetic particle testing and penetrant testing are common techniques for surface inspection but are often time consuming and operator dependent. For heat exchanger inspections, several variables―such as material, outside diameter, and wall thickness―influence which technology and probe are appropriate to inspect the tubes.
Eddy current testing, on the other hand, is a reliable, quick, and inexpensive way to perform preventative maintenance and help ensure safety. This webinar will explore the theory behind eddy current and tube testing. Watch now to see a hands-on demo of the NORTEC™ 600D eddy current flaw detector for surface inspection and HVAC/heat exchanger kits.
