RFT Single-Driver Boiler Probes
Flexible single-driver RFT probes inspect ferrous boiler tubes, combining spring-loaded centering with waterproof construction for tight bends and submerged operation.
Product overview
RFT Single-Driver Boiler Probes use remote-field testing to inspect ferrous tubing. The page identifies RFT as a method for detecting and sizing typical tube defects, including steam erosion, corrosion, baffle cuts and pitting, as well as detecting flaws hidden by support plates.
These probes combine a flexible construction with spring-loaded centering devices to maintain signal quality through the tight bends encountered in boilers. They are designed to pass elbow-shaped bends with a bend radius of 3 X the tube OD, and incorporate a highly kink-resistant cable.
Waterproof construction permits submerged operation, while an onboard preamplifier and a 19-pin Amphenol connector complete the probe configuration. Boiler tubing is the primary application; the page also describes broader RFT uses for wall-loss measurement and flaw detection in feedwater heaters, heat exchangers and piping.
Key capabilities
Spring-loaded centering
Spring-loaded centering devices help maintain signal quality while the probe flexes through boiler tube bends.
Bend passage
The probes are designed to pass elbow-shaped bends of 3 X the tube OD bend radius.
Waterproof construction
Waterproof probes support submerged operation.
Onboard preamplifier
An onboard 30 dB preamplifier is incorporated into the probe.
Kink-resistant cable
The cable is highly resistant to kinking.
Amphenol connector
The probes use a 19-pin Amphenol connector.
Wear resistance
The probes are described as very resistant to wear.
