ECT Detachable Bobbin Probes
ECT bobbin probes with a detachable, sealed cable detect and size tubing defects, including damage beneath heat-exchanger support plates.
Product overview
ECT Detachable Bobbin Probes are eddy current probes for detecting and sizing defects in tubing. They retain the features of regular bobbin probes while adding a sealed, detachable cable, allowing either the cable or the probe to be replaced independently.
The eddy current testing method is sensitive to tubing damage such as steam erosion, baffle cuts, pitting, and cracking. It also provides sensitivity to defects beneath support plates in shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
The probes combine a lightweight polymer body with wear-resistant guides and a highly kink-resistant cable. A LEMO® connector supports straightforward connection, and cable options are described on the Tubing Probe Accessories page.
Key capabilities
Detachable sealed cable
The sealed cable detaches so the cable or probe can be replaced independently.
LEMO® connector
An easy-to-use LEMO® connector provides the cable connection.
Lightweight polymer body
The probe uses an advanced, lightweight polymer body.
Wear-resistant guides
Wear-resistant guides contribute to the probe's resistance to wear.
Kink-resistant cable
The cable is designed for high resistance to kinking.
Tubing defect detection
The probes detect and size steam erosion, baffle cuts, pitting, and cracking in tubing.
Under-support sensitivity
ECT is sensitive to defects beneath support plates in shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
