Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC): Advanced Corrosion & Wall Thickness Inspection

Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) is a cutting-edge advanced NDT method based on the principles of electromagnetism, designed for the rapid and reliable inspection of ferromagnetic materials. Unlike traditional eddy current testing, PEC uses a pulsed magnetic field to generate circulating eddy currents in the material. This technique allows for the precise detection and sizing of
corrosion, pitting, and general wall thinning, even through thick insulation and protective coatings, without the need for their removal.

The PEC Advantage
PEC offers significant benefits for asset integrity management, making it an essential tool for high-stake environments

  • Inspecting Through Insulation: The primary advantage of PEC is its ability to measure wall thickness and detect defects through insulation, weatherproof cladding, and fireproofing. This drastically reduces the time and cost associated with removing and reinstalling these
    materials.
  • Speed and Efficiency: PEC provides a rapid, high-level assessment of large areas of pipework
    and vessels, making it ideal for large-scale screening and initial surveys.
  • Non-Contact Method: The inspection is performed without direct contact with the test object,
    allowing for safe and easy assessment in challenging or elevated locations.

By leveraging our state-of-the-art PEC equipment, we provide you with a fast, accurate, and cost-effective solution for monitoring the condition of your assets, ensuring long-term safety and operational reliability.
