These lightweight eddy current
inspection devices can be used for
crack and corrosion detection and
conductivity and coating thickness
measurement in the most difficult of
inspection environments.
The Phasec 3 is a single frequency
instrument for crack and corrosion
detection and conductivity and coating
measurements in a wide range of
applications in virtually every industrial
segment. The Phasec 3s adds dynamic
rotating inspection capability, which
ensures increased probability of
detection and faster operation when
inspecting bolt-holes or other bores.
The Phasec 3d adds dual frequency
capability to the functionality of the
3s so that it is possible to inspect at
two different depths and optimise weld
inspections.
Due to a large colour screen, colour
coding can now be used to highlight
specific data, to allow easier, more
reliable and faster interpretation of
displayed signals, as each channel is
assigned its own colour. Colour coding
can be used to differentiate between
stored and active signals and it is
possible to use colour to differentiate
the graticule from the signal. With a
choice of eight colour combinations,
viewability can be optimised for specific
situations according to personal taste.
Incorporating all the functionality of
earlier Phasec models, the new range
of instruments can operate in phase
plane, Y(t) and bar graph modes and
spot information gives the coordinates
on screen. Digital alarm systems can be
audio or visual and help to ensure that
all defects are identified.
