Description
The compact PE1437 Pulsed Eddy Current Flaw Detector detects metal corrosion under insulation. The device will operate even if dirt, rust, paint and scale deposits of total thickness up to 100mm are on the surface!
PE1437 Pulsed Eddy Current Flaw Detector measured the averaged metal thickness under the sensor. It is suitable for searching for general area corrosion located both on the external and internal surface of metal. The device implements an algorithm that corrects the measured data after a change in the insulation thickness, i.e a change in the insulation thickness associated e.g. with the insulation sagging; makes a minor effect on the device’s readings.
Using the device:
Application of PE1437:






- The device has the minimum size of a probe, so it can operate on small objects and detect small defects.
The minimal defect is a flat-bottomed bore 20 mm in diameter to a depth of 20% of the nominal thickness. - The device has a bright display which shows measured thickness, A-scan and C-scan.
- The display is protected with impact resistant glass.
- The probe has IP68 housing and can be used underwater.
