Everything you need to know about selecting the right tubing probe for your application.
Stop Guessing. Find the Right Tubing Probe in Minutes.
Too many variables. Too much back-and-forth. The Tubing Probe Creator cuts through the complexity — enter your tube specs, get a matched probe configuration, and move forward.
Probe selection shouldn't slow you down.
Choosing the wrong probe wastes time, delays projects, and creates friction with your supplier.
Most inspectors still rely on catalogs, guesswork, or waiting on a sales rep to get back to them.
There's a faster way.
Three steps. Right probe. First time.
Step 1 — Enter your tube specs
Material, outer diameter, wall thickness, finning, accessibility. The tool guides you through every parameter.
Step 2 — Get a matched configuration
The Tubing Probe Creator cross-references your inputs against Eddyfi's full probe catalog and returns the right configuration for your application.
Step 3 — Submit your quote request
Your specs are already captured. One click sends a complete quote request to the Eddyfi team. No re-entry, no delays.
Not all tubes are the same. Neither are our probes.
Eddyfi offers a complete range of tubing probes covering every major inspection technology and application — from standard heat exchangers to finned tubes, ferromagnetic tubing, and boilers. The Tubing Probe Creator identifies which probe family fits your application, then guides you to the exact configuration.
Bobbin Probes (ECT) For non-ferromagnetic tubing in condensers, feedwater heaters, and heat exchangers. Standard, detachable, flexible, and magnetic saturation variants available.
DefHi ECA Probes High-definition array probes combining bobbin and ECA technology. Detects circumferential cracks at tube support plates — a known limitation of standard bobbin probes.
Remote Field Testing (RFT) Probes For ferromagnetic tubing. Single-driver, dual-driver, and flexible variants for straight runs, U-bends, and boiler tubes.
Remote Field Array (RFA) Probes High-resolution C-scan imaging for ferrous heat exchangers at conventional RFT speeds.
Near-Field Testing (NFT / NFA) Probes For aluminum-finned carbon steel tubes in fin-fan coolers. Detects internal corrosion, erosion, and cracking.
Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) Probes For finned carbon steel tubes. Detects internal and external defects including circumferential cracking.
IRIS (Internal Rotary Inspection Systems) Ultrasound-based inspection for ferrous and non-ferrous tubing. Precise detection of corrosion, pitting, and wall thinning across a wide range of diameters.

Frequently asked questions
What tube materials are compatible with Eddyfi ECT bobbin probes?
Bobbin probes cover a wide range of non-ferromagnetic materials including aluminum, brass, copper, copper-nickel alloys, Inconel 600, stainless steel 304/316, titanium, and zirconium.
I have ferromagnetic tubes. Which probe technology should I use?
Remote Field Testing (RFT) probes are designed for ferromagnetic tubing — carbon steel, cast iron, ductile iron, duplex stainless steel, and nickel alloys. RFA probes add high-resolution C-scan imaging at the same pulling speed.
My heat exchanger has U-bends. Can Eddyfi probes handle that?
Yes. Flexible bobbin probes handle U-bend radiuses as small as 101.6 mm (4 in). Flexible RFT probes pass U-bends of 7 tube ODs and higher.
I'm inspecting finned carbon steel tubes in a fin-fan cooler. What do I need?
Near-Field Testing (NFT or NFA) probes and Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) probes are specifically designed for aluminum-finned carbon steel tubes in fin-fan coolers.
My application requires a custom configuration. Is that possible?
Yes. Eddyfi has in-house engineering and manufacturing capabilities for custom probe solutions. Contact our team with your specs and we'll follow up with a recommendation.
