ECT Magnetic Saturation Bobbin Probes
Magnetic saturation ECT bobbin probes detect and size tube defects in ferritic and Duplex stainless steels and nickel-based alloys.
Product overview
ECT Magnetic Saturation Bobbin Probes are designed for inspecting ferritic and Duplex stainless steel tubing, as well as nickel-based alloy tubes found in condensers, feedwater heaters and other equipment. They detect and size inner-diameter pitting, outer-diameter wear and other common tube defects.
Powerful rare-earth magnets within the probe completely saturate the tube wall. This allows eddy current inspection of mildly ferromagnetic materials at frequencies normally used for non-ferromagnetic materials.
The probes combine a stainless steel body with a replaceable hardened-steel wear guide for resistance to wear. Kink-resistant nylon cabling supports both manual and automated push-and-pull inspection operations.
Key capabilities
Magnetic saturation
Rare-earth magnets completely saturate the tube wall to enable inspection at frequencies normally reserved for non-ferromagnetic materials.
Defect detection and sizing
The probes detect and size inner-diameter pitting, outer-diameter wear and other common tube defects.
Stainless steel body
The probe body is constructed from stainless steel.
Replaceable wear guide
A replaceable hardened-steel wear guide provides resistance to wear.
Kink-resistant cable
Highly kink-resistant nylon cabling supports manual and automated push-and-pull operations.
Amphenol connector
The probes feature a 4-pin amphenol connector.
