Eddy Current Surface Array Flex Probe
The Zetec Eddy Current Surface Array Flex Probe enables you to reduce inspection time and improve flaw detection while receiving a full record of inspection. It is specifically designed to solve the inspection challenges that Power Generation, Oil & Gas and Aerospace companies face every day. The probe offers inspection coverage up to 2 inches in a single pass of the weld bead, transition zone, and heat-affected zone. The unique flexible surface design and proprietary X-Probe coil technology allow the probe to conform to the weld surface where it can detect pitting and surface cracks in any orientation.
