ETher SteelCheck MFL Steel Tube Inspection

ETher SteelCheck MFL Steel Tube Inspection

Portable, Rugged & Battery Operated

The SteelCheck is an affordable, battery operated, portable 3 channel(Hall Sensor and 2 coil) tube inspection unit for Carbon Steel (Ferromagnetic Tubes) using Magnetic Flux Leakage. Unlike other remote field eddy current method it is unaffected by external Aluminum Fins and has the capability to discriminate between external and internal defects.
