Semi-Flexible ECA Probes
Semi-flexible eddy current array probes adapt to convex and concave surfaces for axial scanning of pipes and floor plates with height variations along one axis.
Product overview
Semi-Flexible ECA Probes combine the features of rigid probes with a bendable contact surface for inspecting convex and concave geometries. They accommodate height variations along a single axis, allowing axial scans on surfaces such as pipes and floor plates.
The eddy current array probe family offers different frequency brackets and coil counts in small, medium and large casings. Its conformable contact surface provides high uniform sensitivity, while rugged construction and retractable contact pins support resistance to wear and tear.
Depending on the model, coverage ranges from 26–128 mm, penetration in stainless steel or aluminum ranges from 3–6 mm, and minimum detectable crack length ranges from 0.5–1.0 mm. The probes are compatible with the standard click-on encoder.
