Eddy Current Testing - Eiwaa Saudi
Surface breaking/cracks and near-surface planar defects in welds, heat-affected zones, and parent material are detected via eddy current testing, also known as eddy current inspection. EIWAA enables eddy current testing for coated and uncoated objects, and the testing can be executed on any surface that is accessible on welds with almost any shape.
Minimum Eddy Current Testing demands surface preparations. Eddy's current inspection could detect surface cracks through nonmetallic surfaces as thick as 2mm, depending on the sensitivity requirements. Equipment in use for eddy current inspection and testing should be able to work in the 1 KHz to 1 MHz frequency range. A calibration block composed of the same material must be used for the calibration of the Eddy current testing equipment.
Eddy Current Testing Functions:
Unless otherwise agreed upon by contracting parties, Eddy Current Testing instrument calibration blocks have EDM Notches of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm depth. To replicate the coating or actual thickness on the calibration block, non-metallic stripes with a defined thickness must be used.
EDDY The frequency of weld inspection in ferritic materials should be defined by the material’s conductivity and permeability, the defect’s type, location, and size, and the probe’s design. It is advised to utilize a frequency of nearly 100 KHz. In a ferritic steel weld in the as-welded condition, the eddy current approach can detect indications as small as 1mm deep by 5mm in length.
It is requested that the testing be supplemented with some other NDT inspection technique like magnetic particle testing or penetrant testing when there is a need for more clarification or when the removal of an indication must be verified.
Whether the component is painted or coated, Eddy Current Testing is used to measure and quantify surface cracks in welding or the parent material.
Eddy Current Testing is typically used to fulfill in-service inspection or condition monitoring requirements. For rigs, platforms, and jackets, EIWAA Gulf Rocks Inspection company is a leading supplier of advanced NDT inspection services with eddy current technology. Major oil and gas companies like PDO, QATAR Gas, ADNOC, and ARAMCO have approved the Eddy Current Inspection techniques and our Eddy Current Testing Instrument by API, AWS, and ASME.
Benefits of Eddy Current Inspection: Leading NDT Inspection Companies in the KSA &Bahrain, EIWAA, use both conventional and cutting-edge NDT inspection methods. For non-magnetic conductive materials, our Eddy Current Inspection equipment and specific probes are often employed to achieve higher test sensitivity.
The following are some benefits of eddy current inspection:
Ferritic or nonferritic conductive materials could be used as base materials or welds in eddy current inspection.
The size of defects, which includes both depth and length information, is evaluated via Eddy Current Inspection.
Only minimal surface preparation is required for eddy current inspection, and it can be used over paint or other coatings.
