Ship Deck Pulsed Eddy Current Array Solution

Steel deck plating integrated in the structural integrity of a marine vessel serves a clear role in keeping passenger safety. As it is common for ship deck plate corrosion to occur, this usually commands expensive and time-consuming effort for regular inspection and maintenance.

Conventional inspection methods require the removal of any floor cover which can only be done while the ship is out for refit. Consequently, it is impossible to properly plan for targeted repairs, resulting in significant additional costs related to the disruption of refit schedules.

Moreover, conventional methods only provide limited information through isolated spot measurements. And that’s exactly why Eddyfi Technologies offers the better ship deck pulsed eddy current array inspection solution.

Meet the PECA 7CH Probe

Eddyfi Technologies’ PECA ship deck inspection solution is built around the 7-channel pulsed eddy current array probe (PECA-7CH-SM) which was specifically optimized for corrosion assessment of steel deck plates through floor covering in maritime structures, mainly ships.

It combines high precision and high productivity thanks to an array of seven sensors covering 178 mm (7 in) in a single pass. The Eddyfi Technologies PECA probe supports inspection of steel deck plating up to 13 mm (0.5 in) thick.

Non-destructive testing inspections can be performed through floor coverings up to 38 mm (1.5 in) thick. To learn more about the application range, consult these great PEC probe selection tables.

Your single-element PEC probe for ship floor inspection

The small single-element PEC probe is the perfect complement to Eddyfi Technologies’ ship deck floor inspection PECA 7Ch probe. Its compact body with a rear mounted clip-on encoder port and operability from the topside-mounted ergonomic clip-on handle is perfect for complete coverage of even the most restricted access areas.

It features the proven small footprint sensor of the second generation small PEC probe and provides high-resolution scanning and accuracy. Discover the full application range at these informative PEC probe selection tables

2m Telescopic Extension Pole

Eddyfi Technologies offers an extension pole specifically designed to perform ergonomic inspection of ship decks and flooring. Our extension pole offers a quick release probe function and can extend up to 2m (6.5 ft). The telescopic extension pole enables inspections on flat horizontal surfaces and easily overcomes small obstacles.

Specifications

Ergonomic, Clip-On Handle

Talk about handy… this ergonomic handle was designed to make manipulating PEC probes easier while preventing the operator’s fingers from interfering with the surrounding walls and other obstructions. The clip-on design makes installing and removing the handles effortless. It is compatible Eddyfi Technologies’ ship floor inspection PECA probe (PECA 7CH) as well as medium and large single-element PEC probes.
