Pulsed Eddy Current Testing (PEC) Services
What Is It
Find Hidden Wall Loss Without Stripping Insulation
Corrosion under insulation can remain hidden until it threatens the integrity of piping and equipment. Removing insulation across an entire asset is costly and time consuming, especially when only a few areas need closer inspection.
IRC Engineering’s Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) testing screens insulated steel components for wall loss. The probe sends an electromagnetic pulse through the insulation and measures the response from the metal beneath. This helps identify areas that may need targeted insulation removal and detailed follow-up inspection.
Our PEC services screen:
- Insulated piping
- Pressure vessels
- Storage tanks
- Coated steel components
- Areas at risk of corrosion under insulation
Why PEC
Why Choose Pulsed Eddy Current Testing?
PEC helps inspection teams focus their time and resources on areas where wall loss is more likely, while keeping insulation in place during the initial screening.
Less Insulation Removal
Screen accessible areas through insulation and compatible coverings before deciding where to open them for closer inspection.
Faster Area Screening
Cover larger sections and identify locations that warrant detailed follow-up testing.
