EDDY CURRENT INSPECTION
Eddy current (EC) inspection is used in a variety of industries to detect flaws and make measurements.
​
EC uses electromagnetic induction to detect discontinuities (i.e. cracking) in conductive materials at or near the surface of the material.
​
The biggest advantage is that EC testing can be conducted on clean painted/coated surfaces, opposed to MPI inspection which requires all coating to be removed.
​
This makes EC testing a cost effective method for:
​
-
10 yearly major NDT inspections on cranes, EPWs, and mobile machinery
-
Tower crane pre-erection inspection
-
Crack detection where coating can't be removed.
