ETi-300 – Eddy Current Flaw Detector

The ETi-300 is an advanced eddy current tube testing instrument for inspecting non-ferrous tubing from the inner diameter (ID), developed by ETher NDE to perform in the most demanding of environments whilst delivering outstanding inspection results and reporting functionality.
Eddy Current testing has long been acknowledged as the fastest, most efficient and effective inspection method to inspect the large quantity of non-ferrous tubes present in a typical heat exchanger.
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.

Further technical advantages that the ETi-300 offers include:

  • • A comprehensive end-to-end tube inspection solution.
    • ETi 300 2 probe input with excellent battery life of up to 15hrs.
    • Constant Sample Rate of 16 KHz across all Channels
    • High impact resistant aluminium enclosure designed to meet IP66.
    • 2-year warranty as standard.
    • Optional EThercover 5-year extended warranty.
    • ETherMap intuitive user interface for tube inspection data capture.
    • TMR Tube Mapping software, map from schematics or photographs.
    • TMR Automated Reporting software, easy to use and customizable.
