Portability and Autonomy

The Eddyfi Ectane 2 test instrument is approximately 10 L (610 cu.in.) in volume and weighs in at 6.8 kg (15 lb), making it about three times more compact than other legacy test instruments. Ectane 2 is therefore easy to carry beyond being rugged. The instrument is also battery powered with 8 hours of autonomy that eliminate the need for an external power source.

Unlike some fragile systems on the market, Ectane was built for real-life conditions: cold, hot, dusty, humid (or simply wet!), where occasional shocks and drops are meant to happen. Ectane is the tester you can trust.

Built-in Technological Versatility

Non-destructive testing of tubing and surfaces relies on a number of techniques, which often depend on the application and the materials involved. Used the Ectane 2’s built-in capabilities with almost any combination of the listed testing technologies.

Whatever the technology, Ectane 2 can drive it without external boxes or clumsy connections.

Ectane 2 can also drive partial saturation ECT probes and magnetic bias ECT probes with its onboard current source, and RPC probes with its motor drive.

Ectane 2

Categories: ,

Users from a wide variety of markets in over 50 countries use the Ectane. The Ectane 2 preserves all the characteristics users love about the original — the built-in inspection technology flexibility, the compact size, the ruggedness, and the stylish design, to name just a few.

The Ectane 2 remains just as autonomous as its predecessor with 8 hours of battery power, resists just as well to the most inhospitable inspection environments by being thoroughly sealed, and it is just as portable.

Features

  • Powerful CPU Board — The Ectane 2’s board (100% Eddyfi) has a faster CPU, which delivers more punch for ultrafast probe nulling and real-time processing. This greatly contributes to making quality inspections with the Ectane 2 easier than ever before with any technology combination, whether it is ECT, ECA, TECA, RFT, NFT, NFA, MFL, or IRIS.
  • Improved Maximum Frequency — The maximum ECT frequency is now 10 MHz, which offers more flexibility and better performance in a variety of tubing and surface applications.
  • Current Source for Saturation Probes — Available on the 41-pin connector, this built-in source can be programmed to control the current output that feeds into partial saturation ECT probes and magnetic bias ECT probes.
  • Motor Drive for RPC Probes — The Ectane 2 is capable of driving motorized rotating pancake coil (RPC) probes, thanks to its powerful built-in motor drive. This is useful in applications where RPC probes are used to find longitudinal and circumferential cracks.
