5.2. Tube testing<br />

5.2.1 Tube testing using internal probes<br />

<strong>Eddy</strong> current testing of tube using internal probes is one of the major<br />

applications of eddy current testing, and is used for testing tubular heat<br />

exchangers, for instance in condensers in power generation plants, and large air<br />

conditioning units. The testing is carried out to detect corrosion and cracking at<br />

the inside and outside surfaces, and estimation of the depth of any flaws is an<br />

important aspect of the testing so that action can be taken before tubes start<br />

leaking.<br />
