Inspection of pipes and surface networks ECTANE 3
With over a thousand units deployed in the field, the Ectane 3 has enabled advanced electromagnetic inspections worldwide for over a decade. The third-generation unit is certified IP65 and supports tenth-generation technology, Remote-Field Array (RFA), for advanced tube inspections.
The undisputed reference for advanced testing of heat exchanger tubes and surface eddy current arrays, Ectane® 3 brings the power of Remote-Field Array (RFA) technology to ferrous heat exchanger inspections.
Truly a triple threat, Ectane 3 and Magnifi® software version 5.1 support the new RFA probe family, offering high-resolution C-scan imaging at remote test inspection speeds. With increased data coverage near external features, improved defect detection probability, and better defect morphology, you have exactly what it takes to make the call with confidence.
The best technology to show the true colors of your heat exchanger.
Remote-Field Array (RFA)
The new RFA probe family enhances inspection and analysis performance by adding high-resolution C-scan and increased data coverage closer than ever to external features. The RFA probe design combines a high-density coil array with conventional coils featuring two drivers. Every detail has been taken into account, evident with new centering devices located at both ends of the probe to maintain constant liftoff and provide better signal response quality.
Ectane sets the standard for advanced electromagnetic tube and surface inspections. Offering a wide range of frequencies from 5 Hz to 10 MHz, eight channel inputs, and up to 32 time intervals, the instrument can tackle a wide range of applications. Modular in design, the 11 models of Ectane 3 are scalable and can be retrofitted to meet your inspection needs. The unit is available in three different array configurations: 64, 128, or 256 elements with support for 10 technologies.
