Accessories

Compatible Probes and Accessories

Eddy Current Test (ECT)

These probes are commonly used for inspecting non-ferrous heat exchanger tubes made of materials such as austenitic stainless steel, brass, Inconel™, titanium, and copper. These probes are particularly effective in detecting and analysing defects such as erosion, baffle cuts, pitting, and cracking. Additionally, they are sensitive to defects that may be present under support plates in shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

Remote Field Testing (RFT)

These probes are commonly used to inspect ferrous heat exchanger tubes made of materials such as carbon steel. They are especially effective in detecting common defects such as corrosion, erosion, wear, and pitting.

Near Field Testing (NFT)

NFT probes are commonly utilized to inspect ferrous heat exchangers that have external cooling fins. The Near Field is limited to the thickness of the tube wall, making them perfect for identifying defects in the inner diameter as they eliminate interference from the fins.

Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)

Probes utilize a permanent magnet to magnetize the tube wall, which enables magnetic sensors to detect the leakage field. These probes are specifically designed for inspecting the aluminium-finned carbon steel tubes on fin-fan coolers. They can accurately and reliably detect internal and external defects, such as corrosion, erosion, pitting, and circumferential cracking.

SPEN Weld Inspection

These probes employ a tangential coil arrangement enabling dynamic lift-off technology. These probes are ideal for inspections where access is limited, or where arrays are not suitable.

Software

EMMA Software Interface

The heart of all SG NDT inspection instruments is our own EMMA software, having been developed through many years of continuous research and development to support the most demanding of electromagnetic inspection applications.

EMMA is a powerful and intuitive software designed for use across the entire range of SG NDT electronics and supporting several electromagnetic methods, including:
