FGG Inspections

materials and welds has many advantages over other NDT
techniques. Using our Surface scan units we are able to
complete non-contact inspections, paint coatings do not have to
be removed in order to inspect. Unlike ultrasonic techniques no
couplant is required, and unlike LPI and MPI no chemical
materials are required. Surface scan also lends itself to rope
access inspections as the unit is operable with one hand. The
eddy current method has consistently proved its effectiveness by
offering a high flaw detection rate, reducing inspection costs and
downtime. Minimal surface preparation and a lack of consumables
makes it an extremely efficient and cost effective tool for
inspection. Currently we use surface scan extensivly on
weldments, pipe, and compressor bottles. The maximum
measureable flaw depth is 5mm with existing probes.
