Reddy Surface ECA and MFL
Reddy combines portable eddy current array inspection with optional magnetic flux leakage capability for rapid surface crack assessment and corrosion screening.
Product overview
Reddy is a portable electromagnetic inspection system for surface crack assessment and corrosion screening. Its embedded analysis software presents real-time C-scans on a large multi-touch interface, while the rugged, sealed enclosure is designed for IP65 field use.
Eddy current array inspection is tailored to the application through dedicated probes. Sharck probes use tangential ECA to locate and measure surface-breaking cracks in carbon steel welds, including depth sizing up to 7 mm (0.28 in), without surface preparation or paint removal. Padded ECA probes accommodate stainless steel weld geometry, while flexible I-Flex probes support encoded assessment of stress corrosion cracking clusters in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
The optional magnetic flux leakage capability uses MFL pipescans to screen ferromagnetic pipes, tank walls, and other large areas for corrosion indications. For aluminum and stainless steel tank floors, semi-flexible ECA probes follow curvature and geometric features to detect and characterize corrosion-related pitting and thinning, including defects affecting as little as 10% of plate thickness.
Magnifi CPN extends the workflow to desktop analysis and inspection preparation. Analysts can process Reddy data on computers while instruments continue acquiring data in the field, and inspection configurations can be prepared for multiple instruments.
Key capabilities
Real-time C-scans
Embedded analysis software provides real-time C-scan imaging for surface inspections.
Wide-coverage ECA
High-resolution ECA scans provide wide coverage for faster inspection and high probability of detection.
Optional MFL inspection
Surface MFL capability includes a dedicated simplified wizard and analysis tools.
Field-oriented enclosure
The rugged, sealed system is designed for IP65.
Multi-touch display
The large touchscreen incorporates anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings with chemically strengthened cover glass.
Carbon steel weld assessment
Sharck TECA probes simultaneously scan the weld cap, toe area, and heat-affected zone for longitudinal and transverse cracks.
Desktop analysis
Magnifi CPN supports advanced analysis of Reddy data and inspection setup for several instruments.
