RFT, NFT and ECT Portable Instruments
RFT (Remote Field Technology) has traditionally been used to inspect carbon steel tubing, which is difficult to examine with eddy current technology (ECT).
NFT (Near-Field Technology) is a form of pitch-catch eddy current that can be used in tubing inspection to enhance detectability of certain types of flaws.
ECT (Eddy Current Technology) instruments are used for non-ferrous tube testing and detection of surfacing cracks on components that may be ferrous or non-ferrous.
Eddy Current instruments are generally used to inspect non-ferrous tubing in heat exchangers and perform material sorting, crack detection and corrosion detection on aircraft and other parts.
Ferroscope EMI RFT/NFT/ECT Instrument
The Ferroscope EMI instrument, introduced in the fall of 2024, allows the use of RFT probes as well as NFT and ECT standard bobbin probes; pitch-catch probes; partial saturation (SATURN) probes; TT (through transmission) probes; I-PIT and E-PIT probes, CIRC E-PIT and several other specialty type probes.
The Ferroscope EMI can support up to 16 coil channels of RFT, NFT or ECT data. These multi-channel, multi-frequency options allow the Ferroscope to be used for array applications such as VertiScan, Bracelet Array, E-PIT, I-PIT, internal tube array and surface scanning applications.
The Ferroscope 308 EMI System, comes with industry-leading Software that does not require use of a Dongle, and is a one-time cost (no license fees).
The Ferroscope 308 EMI is the latest in a distinguished line of electro-magnetic testing instruments which have revolutionized equipment maintenance in such industries as oil and gas, power, petrochemical, HVAC (Chillers) and pulp and paper.
The Ferroscope Instrument has been named " Best in Class " by Frost and Sullivan
