Eddy current testing is a noncontact method used to inspect
nonferromagnetic tubing. This technique is suitable for detecting
and sizing metal discontinuities such as corrosion, erosion, wear,
IRIS Applications
pitting, baffle cuts, wall loss, and cracks in nonferrous materials. The ultrasonic IRIS option is used to inspect a wide range
of materials, including ferrous, nonferrous, and nonmetallic
tubing. This technique detects and sizes wall loss resulting from
corrosion, erosion, wear, pitting, cracking, and baffle cuts.
Olympus digital IRIS inspection technology is used as a prove-
up technique for remote field testing, magnetic flux leakage, and
eddy current inspections.
Eddy currents

• Two coils are excited with an electrical current, producing a

magnetic field around them. The magnetic fields penetrate the
tube material and generate opposing alternating currents in the
material. These are called eddy currents.
• Any defects that change the eddy current flow also change the
impedance of the coils in the probe.
• These changes in the impedance of the coils are measured and
used to detect defects in the tube.

Near-Field Testing Applications
Near-field testing (NFT) technology is a fast, cost-effective solution
intended specifically for fin-fan carbon-steel tubing inspection.
This new technology relies on a simple driver-pickup eddy current
TFB-series high-saturation MFL probe
probe design, providing very simple signal analysis.
NFT is specifically suited to the detection of internal corrosion,
erosion, or pitting on the inside of carbon steel tubing. The NFT
probes measure lift-off or “fill factor” and convert it to amplitude- TRD-series NFT probe
based signals (no phase analysis). Because the eddy current
penetration is limited to the inner surface of the tube, NFT probes
are not affected by the fin geometry on the outside of the tubes.
