Application Notes
Process Pipe Stress Corrosion Cracking Inspection
As a part of its eddy current array solutions, Olympus proposes an innovative pipe inspection kit for stress corrosion cracking detection.
Though the results are comparable, ECA technology is much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than penetrant or magnetic-particle inspection. With ECA inspection, you can eliminate costly and complicated procedures, such as paint and coating removal.
The new versitile ECA probe with interchangeable wedges fits a wide-range of pipe sizes.
With the new continuous mode, scan imagery is revealed in real time with a constant results stream.
Features
- Efficient inspection on magnetic and non-magnetic alloys.
- Indications are detected in all directions with only a single pass.
- No need to remove paint; fewer steps means time-savings.
- The 32-coil probe provides a large area of coverage.
- Defect depth evaluation capability.
- Continuous mode provides interrruption-free scan imagery.
- Imagery and archiving enabled.
- Adjustable sensitivity and post-process analysis.
- Green method ( no chemicals involved)

Pipe Inspection Kit
The pipe inspection kit includes 15 wedges for pipe sizes from 33.4 mm (1.310 in.) and up.
Adaptable to Part Geometry
When a part changes shape, Olympus wedges can adapt.
