ETher ETi300 / ETi350 Eddy Current Flaw Detector

ETher ETi300 / ETi350 Eddy Current Flaw Detector

Advanced Eddy Current Tube Inspection

The ETi-300 is an advanced eddy current tube testing instrument for inspecting non-ferrous tubing from the inner diameter (ID), able to perform in the most demanding of environments whilst delivering outstanding inspection results and reporting functionality. The ETi-300 instrument and the suite of analysis and reporting software is ideal for heat exchanger and condenser inspection applications within Power Generation, Transportation, Petrochemical and Oil and Gas industries. The ETi-350 delivers the ETi-300 and laptop ready for in-field inspection work and travel, housed in a site-rugged Peli-Case. 

Features

ETherMap

EtherMap is an intuitive user interface for the ETi 300 operator, capable of processing and analysing data on its own or as an integral part of the end-to-end offering with TMR. When integrated with TMR the user can go all the way from Tube Map design, inspection, analysis to report generation.

 

 

Main Analysis

Tube Inspection Data is shown on a strip chart with the highlighted areas shown on the Phase Plane area (to the left of the strip chart). Parameters of the LIVE inspection can be changed via the toolbar (Frequency, Gain, Filters, Phase)

 

Cal Curves

The Cal Curve Window is opened up on the right hand side. It allows the creation of Calibration Curves and then the analysis window will use these to estimate the size and type of defect. These curves can be created for any of the channels of data and can be based on the parameters of Height and Magnitude as well as Phase.

 

Easy Zoom & Angle Configuration

Shows that windows can be displayed vertically and horizontally and that the Phase Plane area can be made larger. A "line of best fit" is automatically added to the Phase Plane from which the Angle, Magnitude and Height are automatically calculated. These numbers are used to either manually or automatically identify defect severities from a Cal Curve.

 

Sessions & Tube Maps

If using a predefined inspection (from Talcyon TMR software for example), the list of tubes is imported. Also, a Session is then created to contain the inspection parameters.

 

Tube Analysis

The Tube Analysis window opens up on the right hand side where the details of the defect (highlighted by the turquoise strip on the graph) can be edited and logged.

 


Export to Excel

If ETherMap is being used without TMR, all defect data can be exported to Excel and simply integrated in to a report.

TMR Software

TMR ET Advanced Tube Mapping Software

Tube Mapping Software (TMR) is a solution intuitively designed with the operator and tube inspection task in mind; specifically to produce an accurate layout and labelling of tubes on a tube sheet. Upload a photograph or schematic diagram of the tube sheet and create a map of the tube sheet, assign a number to each of the tube openings. The “tube sheet” presents the software with a graphic representation, which helps to track which tubes have already been measured, aiding efficient workflow, labelled and mapped. Set the inspection parameters based on the physical attributes of the tubes. This includes the tube length, diameter, and wall thickness. Make sure all tubes are detected and correctly mapped. Manual editing can be carried out in this step to increase accuracy. If some tubes are left undetected, you may select ‘Add tubes’ to add the tubes that are not detected by the software. Similarly, you can select the ‘Delete Tube’ option to delete tubes that were falsely detected by the software. Order your tubes by row-column attributes and define the direction by simply selecting two adjacent tubes. When done, click order and each tube will be ordered by Row (R), Column (C), Zone (Z) and respective Tube Number (N).

TMR ET Automated Report Creation

Reports are generated by using simple user interface, whilst fully-customizable reporting and output is easily configurable by the operator. Build your own dashboard with graphical representation of data using graphs and charts and create a general conclusion that summarizes all the information - no coding required.  Compatible with various database formats, inspectors are able to organize data and create reports immediately. The reporting software allows users to display information precisely as they would they want it to look. Report data is easily modified without having to start from scratch if information changes. Visual data delivery can be emphasized using graphs and charts available within the TMR software. TMR has the functionality to display a 2-Dimensional view of various tubes and the defects within them. This allows any common areas of concern to be seen easily. Smart filters and simple user experience with the drag-and drop features allows users to only show the most important data in the report.
