Welds are often coated or painted making access to the weld for inspection more complicated when using other methods to Eddy Current (EC). For example, MPI and Dye Penetrant Inspection require the removal of the coating before inspection, costing both money and time. Eddy current (ECT) Weld Probes allow welds to be efficiently inspected for near-surface cracks because the weld can be inspected through paint or metallic coatings.
Eddy Current Weld Probes are specifically designed for the task of weld inspection of non-ferrous welds and steel structures. They can detect surface cracks on a weld with a non-conductive surface coating on it of up to 2mm. Application specific probe design is also possible with ETher NDE, design of the probe means that it is capable of inspecting welds with uneven surfaces and coatings on them.
