ECT BASED

Pulsed Eddy Current Array (PECA)

Pulse Eddy Current (PEC) is an electromagnetic inspection technique used to detect wall loss on ferromagnetic structures such as carbon steel & cast iron, without removing the insulation. It provides a relative volumetric measurement converted into an averaged thickness measurement based on the calibration area. This tool was developed for the detection of corrosion under insulation (CUI) & fireproofing (CUF).

This is an excellent technique to be applied on objects that are insulated & also can be applied on objects that are difficult or extreme cost accessible.

ADVANTAGES OF

PECA

  • Can measure remaining thickness of a component with a lift-off
  • Insulation with weather jacket (aluminium, stainless steel, galvanized steel)
  • Concrete / silicate
  • Marine growth
  • No surface preparation needed
  • Coating (paint) / insulation / passive fire protection removal not required
  • No interference with production (can applied during in-service plant operation)
  • Accessibility issues are minimized as it can be used via rope access operators
