ECT Flexible Bobbin Probes
Flexible eddy current bobbin probes inspect non-ferrous U-bend tubing in a single pass, with durable construction suited to manual push-pull operation.
Product overview
ECT Flexible Bobbin Probes are designed for single-pass inspection of U-bend tubing in condensers, feedwater heaters, and heat exchangers. They use eddy current testing to inspect non-ferrous tubing materials such as austenitic stainless steel, brass, Inconel™, titanium, and copper.
A welded titanium head and centering ball help improve signal definition, including through U-bends, while supporting durability and ease of use. The flexible stainless steel shaft allows the probe to negotiate tight U-bends with radii as small as 76.2 mm (3 in).
The strong nylon cable is highly resistant to kinking and suited to manual push-pull operations. Wear-resistant construction supports use in demanding tubing inspection tasks.
Key capabilities
