Pulsed Eddy Current Single-Element Probes
Single-element PEC probes for Lyft detect corrosion beneath insulation and fireproofing, with three sizes balancing wall-thickness capability and liftoff.
Product overview
Pulsed Eddy Current Single-Element Probes work with Lyft to inspect pipes, vessels, sphere legs and other structures for corrosion under insulation, corrosion under fireproofing and flow-accelerated corrosion. The family uses PEC technology to detect concealed degradation through insulation and weather jackets.
Small, medium and large probes provide different combinations of wall-thickness capability, liftoff and inspection footprint. Depending on probe size, the published specifications support metal thicknesses up to 102 mm (4 in) and insulation thicknesses up to 305 mm (12 in). Listed insulation materials include fiberglass, plastic wrap, concrete and other non-ferrous materials; supported weather jackets include stainless steel, aluminum and galvanized steel.
The probes accommodate hard-to-reach geometries and pipes with diameters as small as 25 mm (1 in). A built-in keypad enables remote operation, while an optional universal clip-on encoder supports dynamic scanning. Extension poles, rope-access extension cables, handles, stabilizers and probe shoes adapt the probes to access and surface conditions, with direct-contact operation permitted up to 70°C (158°F), or up to 120°C (248°F) with a probe shoe.
