Eddy Current

   The Eddy Current Testing (ECT) method is based on Faraday’s Law of Induction, where a magnetic field generated by a coil, when powered by an alternating electrical current, induces electrical currents—also known as eddy currents—into the test material. When a discontinuity is present in the material, the eddy currents' flow is disrupted, causing an imbalance in the system, which allows for its detection and measurement.

This technique is applicable to all electrically conductive materials for detecting and measuring surface and subsurface discontinuities. It is widely used in the aerospace and petrochemical industries for the inspection of welds, plates, and heat exchanger tubes.

Due to its high sensitivity in detecting and measuring cracks and pits, it is the most recommended technique for inspecting tubes made of non-ferromagnetic materials such as stainless steel, titanium, brass, and copper.
