EAGLE 2000 PLUS MULTCHANNEL NDT SYSTEMFOR TUBE INSPECTION FROM THE I.D.

exTesTState of the Art Products

and Services for NDT

LOCATE TUBE DEFECTS IN HEAT EXCHANGERS OR DRUM TO DRUM BOILERS BEFORE THEY CAUSE FAILURESWITH THE EAGLE 2000 PLUS MULTICHANNEL NDT SYSTEM . USING THE REMOTE FIELD ELECTROMAGNETICTECHNIQUE (RFET) METHOD, THE EAGLE 2000 PLUS DETECTS AND QUANTIFIES CORROSION, EROSION, PITTING,CRACKING, AND MECHANICAL DEFECTS TO PREVENT COSTLY AND DANGEROUS TUBE FAILURES. THE EAGLE2000 PLUS TESTS STRAIGHT AND U-BEND HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES OR BENT BOILER TUBES, FINNED ORUNFINNED TUBES, FERROUS OR NON-FERROUS TUBES, AS WELL AS SMALL DIAMTER PIPES.

The Eagle 2000 Plus Multichannel NDT System is a fast,accurate, cost effective, and field proven system for tube exami-nation from the I.D. It can be used in single channel mode,differential mode, or multichannel mode depending upon thetype of inspection required. A full 100% circumferential test isperformed over the tube’s full length, not just at finite points, aswith some other NDT methods. The system can be used to testvirtually any tube-constructed type of process equipment such asboilers, heat exchangers, air coolers/fin fans, air heaters, etc.The Eagle 2000 Plus can also test small diameter process piping

and provide baseline evaluation of new or stock tubes. TheEagle 2000 Plus not only detects flaws in such tubes, but alsoquantifies and characterizes them.

System Versatility

Single channel probes can operate in either absolute ordifferential modesMultichannel probes allow for smaller defect detection andpin point sizingThe system can test boiler tubes from either the mud or the

steam drums. Using flexable probes allows the bends to betested with full detection/quantification capabilities. Theinner and outer radius of boiler bends are very susceptableto defectsSpecial flex probes are available for testing U-bend bundlesFill factor is not critical with RFET technology (unlikestandard eddy current technique). One size of probe willtest many different sizes of tubing, making many inspec-tions possible with only a few standard sizes.Calibraion tubes can be manufactured for virtually any flawtype. This aids in flaw detection through pattern recogni-tion, allows quantification of depth and diameter.

Full length Boiler Inspection

Boiler inspections are performed on drum to drum typeboilers as well as straight tube boilers. These tests are fulllength examinations from the tube I.D. giving a quanitativeevaluation of each tube. Applications include power boilers,recovery boilers, waste heat boilers, fire tube boilersDowtherm boilers, and related boiler components such astubular air heaters, etc. With the flaw characterizationprocess, defects such as areas of wall thinning, pitting,cracking, erosion/corrosion, sort blower thinning, flue gasthinning, etc. are exposed and evaluated.

s xTe TeField Services

TesTex has been performing NDT inspectin services for over15 years. Through this experience, we have developed themost state of the art, versatile systmes in the field today. Withsservice branches at locations around the world, and theability to mobilize staff from any of these locations, we offer

complete professional services for your any of your NDTneeds. Preliminary reports are given on site after everyinspection, results are available immediately on the conditionof your process equipment allowing you to perform repairsand get the equipment up and running again quickly.

Detection CapabilitiesUsing a standard 8 channel rigid probe, a 0.040 ” (1mm)diameter pit, 30% deep, can be detected in a 1 ” O.D., 0.083 ” wallcarbon steel tube. Other small defects such as circumferential andaxial cracks can be detected and quanified using a calibrationstandard prepared with EDM notches. All defects are sized by

phase and amplitude response and number of channels affected.
