Regardless of what NDT technique is employed, we share a common goal of uncovering otherwise hidden flaws in assets and components to help assist with better decisions related to quality assurance, maintenance, and replacement.
At the end of the day when you sign off on that final inspection report for the asset owner, you need to have complete confidence that your tools delivered the most accurate data results. NDT inspections play a direct role in everyone's life, everywhere we are, and on most everything with great impact on human activities. More importantly, NDT workers are essential: they are the ones providing the whole picture on assets' safety and integrity.
Advances in the NDT industry are empowering inspectors to collect highly reliable data. As creatures of habit, we naturally want to resist change. It's intimidating and uncomfortable …until you see the direct and immediate benefits afforded by industry leaders dedicated to understanding exactly what you need to get the job done effectively, efficiently, every time.
Whether you're looking for high temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) cracking in industrial pipework at a plant or determining if the level of corrosion found inside a storage tank is within an accepted range, detecting these defects is important... being able to precisely characterize them is the game changer.
An industry differentiator, Eddyfi Technologies offers the best-in-class instruments for multi-technologies so that operators can gather reliable insights for better analysis and next-step decisions. See the clear Eddyfi Advantage in these articles.
Hearing terms like "modern" or "advanced" doesn't have to always translate to difficult! When training and support are made available, while transitioning from one technique to another, it can be simpler than expected.
The next generation of NDT tools feature calibration wizards, preset scan plans, specific inspection applications, code compliance checks, and analysis tools inspired by industry feedback and innovation fueled by heavy R&D investments.

When choosing the best instrument for your needs, hardware isn't the only contributor to confidence in your inspection. When your software or technique is outdated and clumsy, it can consume valuable time otherwise spent on another project or job.
Software can undoubtedly throw a learning curve when expanding your new technique horizons. Finding an intuitive and plug-and-play complete solution with an easily understood interface offers tangible benefits when investing in a new tool. You should ask yourself these top 7 questions when shopping for a new instrument to make an informed decision.

Building a complete inspection report!
Many older techniques for structural integrity assessments —though trusted and familiar— may not always be the best fit, often requiring considerable manual intervention to document and report findings. Work smarter, not harder, by exploring alternative techniques that are more accessible than you may think and benefit from faster inspections, automatically recorded and auditable data that's easy to interpret.
Here are just a few examples demonstrating exactly that...
Pioneering real-time TFM since 2013, Gekko innovation keeps being driven by market applications. Used in accredited training centers and ready for TFM standards, it benefits from advanced algorithms through a streamlined software user interface (Capture). Simply powerful, Gekko brings the latest technology at your fingertips.
With continuously added tools in one standalone application, Capture eases the inspection process and reduces operator errors. Without the need to use third-party software to load basic and advanced procedures, all-level UT inspectors have access to performance through a visual and guided interface. Capture offers a quick way to improve knowledge and requires minimum training for phased array inspectors.
Gekko includes all basics and advanced UT features in a reinforced compact casing designed for field use. It natively comes with conventional UT, TOFD and all beam-forming phased array UT techniques for single-beam and multi-group inspection and its 3-encoded axis capabilities make the Gekko ready for any challenging inspection. This rugged PAUT unit also offers real-time TFM/FMC (Full Matrix Capture) and Adaptive TFM techniques.
Coming with an IPEX type PA connector and a LEMO16 encoder, Gekko is compatible with Eddyfi® accessories and most probes and scanners on the market. For other configurations, Eddyfi can provide the adapter to ensure compatibility with your current accessory.
