Eddy current testing is an excellent means of ensuring that tubing is leak-proof. Tubes are tested by encircling coils or multiple segment coils that completely surround the tube body. The eddy current test equipment paint-marks critical defects and assigns each tube to a sort class according to its quality. Test results are fully documented for future verification of tube quality.PRÜFTECHNIK offers a wide variety of eddy current inspection equipment that ranges from the most basic test equipment to powerful testers with wide-reaching capabilites for integration into central production control systems and 8-channel inspection using multiple coil systems.
Eddy current technology can be used to detect splices, connecting wedges or joint inside coated material such as steel tubes with PVC insulation. In this example, an EDDYSENSOR and an e
