Application scenarios
Eddy current flaw detectors are commonly used in military, aviation, railway, and industrial and mining enterprises, and can be used in the field or on-site. They are multifunctional, practical, high-performance, and cost-effective instruments.
Widely used for online and offline flaw detection of various non-ferrous metals, black metal pipes, rods, wires, wires, and profiles. It has high detection sensitivity for defects such as surface cracks, hidden seams, slag inclusions, and open cracks in metal pipes, rods, wires, and profiles.
Reliable performance, sturdy and durable
The casing of the eddy current flaw detector has been verified on site and is very sturdy and durable. It can operate normally in harsh field environments. Due to the durability of the instrument's casing against harsh weather conditions, it can ensure that users can successfully complete eddy current testing work.
Portable and lightweight
The instrument weighs only 1.6 kilograms and is equipped with a wrist strap installed by the manufacturer. The wrist strap helps operators directly use their thumb to control buttons, providing them with the true multifunctional features of handheld instruments.
