jameswilson replied to a discussion1 year agoFor Eddy Current Testing (ECT) on weldments, several standards provide guidance on procedures, equipment, and interpretation of results. Here are key standards commonly followed:
ASTM E566 – Standard Practice for Electromagnetic (Eddy Current) Sorting of Ferrous Metals: Useful for general ECT, this standard provides guidelines on sorting and quality assessment for ferrous metals.
ASTM E376 – Standard Practice for Measuring Coating Thickness by Magnetic-Field or Eddy-Current (Electromagnetic) Testing Methods: Helpful if you're checking for coating thickness on weldments.
ISO 17643 – Non-destructive Testing of Welds – Eddy Current Testing of Welds by Complex Plane Analysis: Specifically tailored for welds, this ISO standard details ECT procedures for detecting surface and near-surface defects in welds.
ASME Section V, Article 8 – Eddy Current Examination: Part of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, this provides guidelines on eddy current examination of materials, including weldments, in pressure vessels and other critical applications.
These standards cover a range of applications and can guide you in conducting a thorough and compliant Eddy Current inspection on weldments. Make sure to choose the one most aligned with your specific inspection requirements and industry standards.
Hope this helps!

NDT-Inspect posted an update in the group Eddy Current (ECT)3 years agoEddy current testing is a type of nondestructive testing (NDT) method that uses the principles of electromagnetism to detect and evaluate defects in conductive materials.
The test is performed by passing a high-frequency alternating current through a coil, which creates a magnetic field around the coil. When the coil is placed near a conductive material, eddy currents are induced in the material.
These eddy currents create their own magnetic fields, which interact with the magnetic field generated by the coil. Any changes in the magnetic field, such as those caused by defects in the material, can be detected and evaluated using specialized equipment.
This method is commonly used to inspect metal parts, such as tubes and wires, for cracks, corrosion, and other defects that could affect their strength and performance.
