    Dacon Inspection Services is an inspection company that has been providing conventional and advanced NDT services since 1979. They specialize in pulsed eddy current testing, which uses electromagnetic pulses to measure the thickness of steel objects under coatings and insulation. It works by generating eddy currents in materials and measuring how long they take to decay, allowing thickness measurements to be taken through up to 200mm of insulation. PEC is useful for inspecting insulated pipes, vessels, and tanks as well as surfaces with marine growth or concrete coatings. Dacon can inspect items ranging from 3" pipes to flat surfaces and provide accuracy within 10% for thicknesses from 3-35mm.

    PULSED EDDY CURRENT

    Thickness readings through coatings and insulation


    Electromagnetic technique for measuring the thickness of steel objects
    such as pipe and vessels
    Eddy Current sensor is placed on top of the thermal insulation
    Magnetic field generated in the material
    By measuring the duration for eddy current to “decay” a reference to
    the thickness of the material can be made.

    PULSED EDDY CURRENT

    Principle

    DACON INSPECTION SERVICES FOR ALL YOUR INSPECTION NEEDS


    PULSED EDDY CURRENT

    • Magnetic pulse sent out

    • Eddy Currents generated in the (permeable) material

    • Eddy currents generate a magnetic field of their own, affecting the receiver coil

    DACON INSPECTION SERVICES FOR ALL YOUR INSPECTION NEEDS


    PULSED EDDY CURRENT

    • While penetrating the material the eddy currents get weaker and decay

    • When the Eddy currents hit the back wall a sudden drop in Eddy current strength
    takes place

    • The time of between the first pulse and when this sudden drop off takes place is a
    measure for the thickness of the material

    PULSED EDDY CURRENT

    Disadvantages

    • Can only be used on ferro-magnetic materials

    • Measures variations in wall thickness within an object, not absolute thickness


    • Can’t measure through galvanized sheeted insulation

    • Small isolated corrosion pits can be missed.

    • Measures the average wall thickness over the footprint of the probe
    • Depends on size of probe and amount of lift off
