Used but excellent condition, I am pairing down my teaching supplies. Cost is $350 plus shipping.
Detects hairline Sustained Load Cracking (SLC) in 3AL aluminum cylinders
• Improved probe design leads to quicker and better flaw detection
• Proven microprocessor-based design enables operator to quickly become an experienced inspector with minimal training
Visual and audible alarms alert operator to inspection status
• No computer necessary for operation
The Model Visual Eddy, eddy current test system utilizes the eddy current test technique method which very effectively locates SUSTAINED LOAD CRACKING (SLC) in high pressure aluminum cylinders. These aluminum cylinders are used for SCUBA diving, fire-fighting, carbonating beverages and in the medical field. Some of these cylinders may develop cracks and may be seen during visual inspection. These cracks can cause leaking and ultimately lead to catastrophic failure (explosion). Special Features Applications In sustained load cracking, small radial cracks start at the base of the threaded neck area and propagate toward the shoulder (the cylinder body) and up in to the neck (threaded area) as the cracks grow deeper. Eventually, these cracks can become quite deep and can lead to tank rupture. Eddy current techniques can detect these cracks in the initial stages of formation long before there is any real hazard. The Visual Eddy is very easy to operate. It was designed to be used by people with minimal formal eddy current training. Power on the unit and it will return to the previous setup and set the internal controls to the previous values via the internal microprocessor. It is necessary to verify calibration of the unit by rotating the aluminum test ring over the sensitive area on the probe and note if the pulse that is generated on the graphic display is of the proper size. Next, the probe is threaded completely into the cylinder neck until the probe no longer turns easily. The probe is rotated out of the neck. If the eddy current sensor crosses over a crack, a pulse is displayed on the screen.
