Quality Test & Inspection: Eddy Current Inspection Reinvents Itself
A reliable, proven technology just got better
Eddy current inspection has been available for many years to detect cracks, inspect for porosity, inspect for thread presence and condition, find seams in welded tubing, inspect for hardness and chemistry changes, measure distance, measure thickness and find voids. This versatile technology has allowed cost-effective, fast, reliable and relatively simple inspections to be conducted in any conductive material and in myriad applications. With the advent of fast industrial grade computers and plug-and-play data acquisition boards, however, eddy current inspection has reinvented itself as a dynamic, rather than primarily a static, means of inspection.
