Pulse Eddy Current

Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) is an inspection technique for inspecting carbon steel objects such as pipes and vessels, without the need for contact with the steel surface. PEC can measure percentage variations in steel thickness through any non-conductive and non magnetic materials between sensor and surface such as air, insulation material, concrete, plastics, coatings, sea water and marine growth, paint, deposits, oil, composite repairs, fireproofing, “scabs” aluminium sheeting and other non-magnetic insulation covers; so ideal for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) applications. Previous instruments often lacked the power to be fast and effective.

Using the latest battery technology, MAXWELL NDT introduces a novel and very powerful PECT instrument with a design based on 25 years’ hands-on experience at a global Oil Company.
