Eddy Current Standards
Posted by arsal on 27/11/2021 at 2:05 pmHi all,
I am conducting Eddy Current inspection on weldments. What are the standards that I can follow?

ASTM E 426 Electromagnetic (eddy current) testing of seamless and welded tubular
For 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!
