Eddy Current Testing (ECT) Angola
Eddy current testing uses electromagnetic induction to inspect conductive tubing and surfaces at speed — the standard method for heat exchanger and air cooler tube bundles.
Overview
ECT detects pitting, wall loss, erosion and cracking in non-ferromagnetic tubes without the couplant, cleaning and access time that other methods require. It is the fastest way to screen a full bundle during a shutdown window and to decide which tubes to plug, sleeve or retube.
Openmar delivers ECT with calibrated reference standards, tube-by-tube maps and defect sizing so maintenance and integrity teams can act on the results within the same turnaround.
Applications
- Shell-and-tube heat exchangers
- Air-cooled heat exchangers and condensers
- Boiler and cooler tube bundles
- Non-ferrous surface crack detection
- Weld inspection on stainless and alloy components
Methodology
Our Process
Tube Review
Review exchanger geometry, tube material, history and expected degradation.
Probe Calibration
Select probes and calibrate channels against representative reference defects.
ECT Scanning
Scan accessible tubes while monitoring signal quality, location and repeatability.
Tube Map
Deliver defect sizing, tube condition map and plugging recommendations.
Why Openmar
- Angolan company operating locally, with local content and mobilisation from Luanda
- Written procedures and qualified personnel for every method deployed
