EDDYFI SHARCK PROBE EDDY CURRENT ARRAY (ECA)

The Sharck™ Probe is a next-generation Eddy Current Array (ECA) solution that enhances the safety and integrity of pressure vessel welds by detecting and measuring surface-breaking cracks with unparalleled accuracy. Unlike traditional wet Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), which is messy and requires extensive surface preparation, the Sharck probe operates without chemicals and minimal prep time. Featuring spring-loaded fingers that conform to weld geometry, it enables single-pass scanning of the cap, toe, and heat-affected zones, ensuring a comprehensive crack assessment. The built-in encoder allows precise defect localization, while the TECA™ technology provides real-time crack depth and length measurement. The Sharck probe achieves scanning speeds of up to 200mm/s (8in/s) and delivers high-resolution 2D/3D C-scans when paired with Ectane® 2 and Magnifi® software. Designed for productivity and reliability, it offers archivable inspection data, increased probability of detection (PoD), and improved defect sizing for pressure vessel welds in refineries and other industrial applications.
