Spyne - Model ECA -Adaptable Surface Eddy Current Array

Spyne is a revolutionary screening tool for surface-breaking cracks on pipelines. Much faster and reliable than traditional magnetic particle testing (MPI), it can accommodate a range of flexible probes designed to suit ferritic and non-ferritic alloys and be configured to inspect external diameters from 150 mm (6 in) to flat surfaces. It can detect individual cracks as small as 2 mm {0.080 in) long and 1 mm (0.040 in) deep, and colonies of cracks of virtually any depth and length.

The Spyne is encoded and has a coverage of 200 mm (8 in), maximum scan speed of 600 mm (24 in) per second, and optional magnetic wheels to facilitate scanning the sides and bottom of the pipe. Its raster scan capability allows recording the inspection of 100% of the pipe`s external surface in a single datafile.

• Scan speed up to 600 mm/s (24 in/s)
• 200 mm (8 in) coverage in a single pass
• Infinite adjustments, from 150 mm (6 in) OD pipes to flat surfaces
• Very high PoD: leave no crack behind
• Repeatable and reliable results
• Minimal surface preparation required; no need to remove the coating
• Pre-calibrated. Only cal-check required.
• Combined with Magnifi®: assisted detection and on-the-spot reporting

• Grid-As-U-Go™ for quick and easy gridding
• Embedded and detachable spring-loaded encoder
• Ergonomic handles with acquisition control buttons
• Spring-loaded, interchangeable flexible ECA probe
• Compatible with Reddy® or Ectane® (128 channels)
• Use on high-temperature surfaces (up to 150ºC/302ºF)
• Faster, less operator-dependent than PT/MT
• Compatible with a wide variety of flexible-PCB probes, coils, and topologies
