Pencil Probes
At ETher NDE we design and manufacturer all our Eddy Current (ECT) probes in house and with the ability to design your probes to the exact non-destructive testing (NDT) application you have, even the 'simple' Pencil Probe becomes specific to you.
With the most common Eddy Current (EC) Pencil Probes available 'on-stock', we can promise you rapid delivery on these Probes, meaning that you can be back to inspecting in the fastest possible time.

Thread Inspection Probes
Thread Inspection Probes are designed for use in the inspection of internal and external thread sections. Chisel and pointed tips make them ideal for detecting cracks propagating in the root areas.

Broad Band Probes
Eddy Current (ECT) Broad Band Probes are extremely versatile and work within many applications within Non-destructive Testing (NDT). Designed as a heavy-duty range of probes that can be used for general industrial use with impedance plane instruments only.

Weld Probes
ETher NDE can offer a broad range of Eddy Current (ECT) Weld Probes including specially designed Eddy Current (EC) Weld Probes to your specification.
Eddy Current Weld Probes are specifically designed for the task of weld inspection of non-ferrous welds and steel structures. They can detect surface cracks on a weld with a non-conductive surface coating on it of up to 2mm.

Internal Diameter Probes
Our range of ID Probes are designed hand in hand with our Cables to offer the best options when working in the field. With our Dis-connectable Cables if either the Probe or Cable fails, the operator can easily swap them for another and carry on with their inspection reducing interruption to their inspection and the cost of having to replace both the Probe and Cable.

Surface Inspection Probes
For general purpose inspection of sub-surface corrosion and flaws.
This probe has excellent depth penetration making it ideal for multi-layer inspections with a broad frequency ranges, excellent low frequency performance, integrated 4-way Lemo connector and built in balance coils.

Eddy Current Weld Probes are specifically designed for the task of weld inspection of non-ferrous welds and steel structures. They can detect surface cracks on a weld with a non-conductive surface coating on it of up to 2mm.

The application specific design of the probe means that it is capable of inspecting welds with uneven surfaces and coatings on them.

Welds are often coated or painted making access to the weld for inspection more complicated when using other methods to Eddy Current (EC). For example, MPI and Dye Penetrant Inspection require the removal of the coating before inspection, costing both money and time. Eddy current (ECT) Weld Probes allow welds to be efficiently inspected for near-surface cracks because the weld can be inspected through paint or metallic coatings.

We are pleased to be able to offer two Rotary Drives to meet your application needs.

Eddy current rotary inspections of fastener holes and countersinks are performed routinely in the Aircraft Maintenance Industry and now the method is also being used increasingly in the power generation industry for the inspection of bolt-holes on wind turbines. High-speed surface inspection is also another area of increasing usage.
