Tubing Inspection NDT Solutions for Manufacturers and Asset Owners

The two most important components in metal tubing are size and strength. Being able to ensure material integrity and dimensional control is crucial to tubing applications. The best way to ensure those is through nondestructive testing solutions.

Nondestructive testing, particularly eddy current testing solutions for metal tubes, can detect flaws in freshly manufactured tubes before they are shipped out to customers or in-service as the tubes are being used. This can save costly recalls, keep customers satisfied, and ensure customer operations are maximizing uptime.

Eddy current NDT solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into your manufacturing and in-service quality control processes. This ensures higher productivity at lower costs. Eddy current tools are easy-to-use, provide accurate results, and helps to ensure tubing integrity.

Key pipe and tubing inspection applications include:

material integrity (crack detection; thickness measurement; lamination detection)
in-line weld inspection (welded tube; weld line defects)
in-line ASTM inspections
offline baseline inspection of heat exchanger tubing prior to installation
post-installation baseline inspections

Tubing Inspection Resources and Applications

Eddy current NDT solutions are as varied as the size and purpose of the tubes and pipes. To demonstrate how our products are used in tubing inspections, explore our application notes, white papers, and webinars describing common tubing inspection techniques.
