Ectane 2 Eddy Current Flaw Detector by Eddyfi – Multi-Technology NDT Solution

Overview of the Ectane 2 Flaw Detector

The Ectane 2 Eddy Current Flaw Detector from Eddyfi is a high-performance, multi-technology instrument designed for advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) of tubing and surface components. Built for field reliability, this system combines several inspection methods into one compact unit, reducing the need for multiple devices during on-site evaluations.

With its lightweight design, battery-powered operation, and highly responsive processing capabilities, the Ectane 2 is engineered for efficient and accurate defect detection in demanding industrial environments.

Multi-Technology Inspection Capabilities

1. Eddy Current Testing (ECT)

ECT mode delivers precise analysis for detecting cracks, corrosion, and conductivity variations in conductive materials.

2. Eddy Current Array (ECA)

ECA expands traditional ECT with broader coverage, enabling faster inspections and higher-resolution imaging across larger surfaces.

3. Tangential Eddy Current Array (TECA)

TECA supports surface evaluation for complex geometries, providing enhanced sensitivity to shallow and multi-directional defects.

4. Remote-Field Testing (RFT)

Ideal for inspecting ferrous tubing, RFT offers deep penetration and reliable detection of flaws on both internal and external surfaces.

5. Near-Field Testing (NFT)

NFT specializes in identifying defects near support plates and tight areas within tubing systems.

6. Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)

MFL detects material loss and wall thinning using magnetic distortion analysis—useful in pipelines and heat exchangers.

7. IRIS Ultrasonic Testing

The built-in IRIS ultrasonic system provides high-accuracy wall thickness measurements and internal diameter evaluations.

Designed for Field Efficiency

Portable and Battery Powered

With up to 8 hours of continuous operation, the Ectane 2 supports long inspection days without external power sources.

Network-Friendly Connectivity

The system connects seamlessly to networks without BootP configuration, allowing fast setup and simplified data transfer.

High-Speed Performance

Its upgraded CPU provides ultrafast probe nulling, continuous real-time processing, and precise data handling across all supported technologies.

Wide Frequency Range

With a maximum ECT frequency of 10 MHz, the Ectane 2 offers broad versatility for a variety of tubing and surface applications.

Motorized Probe Control

Equipped with a powerful motor drive, the unit easily operates RPC probes for detecting longitudinal and circumferential cracks.

Highlighted Advanced Features

Thru-Coat™ Measurement Technology

Measures coating thickness and metal thickness simultaneously using a single back-wall echo.

Temperature Compensation

Automatically adjusts velocity settings to ensure accuracy during temperature variations.

Oxide/Scale Measurement Option

Determines both steel thickness and oxide/scale buildup—ideal for aging equipment and industrial systems.

Enhanced A-Scan Display

Brighter, higher-contrast visualization supports better interpretation under field lighting conditions.

Broad Transducer Compatibility

Supports dual-element, single-element, delay-line, immersion, and EMAT transducers for diverse applications.

Comprehensive Datalogging

Extended file names, advanced review tools, and customizable grid files help manage larger inspection datasets.
