Eddy Current Array (ECA)

Spyne is a technology from Eddyfi designed specifically for the detection of hard spots and cracking in pipelines. It provides advanced solutions for identifying these critical defects in the main body of pipelines. Key features and applications include: 

• Eddy Current Array Technology: Spyne utilizes Eddy Current Array technology, which involves multiple coils arranged in specific patterns to generate eddy currents in the material being inspected. This allows for the simultaneous inspection of a larger area compared to single-coil eddy current probes. 

• Hard Spot Detection: Spyne is optimized for detecting hard spots in the pipe body, which can lead to failures if not identified and mitigated. 

• Crack Detection: The technology is highly effective at identifying and characterizing cracks within the pipe body, crucial for maintaining pipeline integrity. 

• High-Resolution Imaging: Spyne provides high-resolution imaging and accurate defect detection, ensuring detailed assessment of the pipe body. 

• Flexible Deployment: Spyne can be used in various configurations making it adaptable to different inspection environments and requirements. 

• Comprehensive Coverage: Spyne ensures comprehensive coverage of the pipe body, reducing the likelihood of missing critical defects and ensuring thorough assessment. 

Sharck is an Eddy Current Array (ECA) probe technology developed by Eddyfi Technologies. It is specifically designed for the inspection of surface and sub-surface defects in conductive materials, particularly focusing on detecting and characterizing cracks and hard spots. Key features and applications include:

• Eddy Current Array Technology: Sharck utilizes Eddy Current Array technology, which involves multiple coils arranged in specific patterns to generate eddy currents in the material being inspected. This allows for the simultaneous inspection of a larger area compared to single-coil eddy current probes
• Crack Detection: The technology is adept at identifying and characterizing cracks, making it valuable for inspecting welds, heat-affected zones, and other critical areas prone to cracking
• Hard Spot Detection: Sharck can also detect hard spots in materials, which are areas of localized hardness that can lead to material failure if not addressed
• High Resolution and Sensitivity: Sharck offers high-resolution imaging and sensitivity, providing detailed and accurate defect characterization. This is essential for making informed maintenance and repair decisions
• Ease of Use: The probe is designed for ease of use, with features that facilitate rapid deployment and scanning. This enhances inspection efficiency and reduces downtime
