- Anticipated flaws with depths greater than .250’’
- Best for thoroughly examining coating, saving on abatement and recoating
- Random, sine-sweep, sine-beats, continuous sine-wave or white noise excitation
- Array capable of crack detection and sizing for greater coverage faster
- HX Condition Assessment, including Conventional and Specialized Tubing Examinations
- Damage Mechanism Identification, Quantification, and Possible Corrective Action Development
- 3-D Modeling of Damage Areas for HX, Piping, and Vessels
- Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) Testing
- Remote Field Testing in Ferrous Material
- Boiler Tubing Applications
- Specialty Alloy (Duplex, Monel, Nickle 200 Applications)
- Remote Field Testing in Ferrous Material
- Tube Plugging and Stabilization Services
Balance of Plant Eddy Current Testing
Curtiss-Wright’s electromagnetic testing personnel have extensive experience in the delivery of BOP heat exchanger and condenser ET services. We specialize in HX Condition Assessment, identifying and quantifying damage mechanisms and possible corrective actions, 3- D modeling of damage areas, and specialty applications such as Incore Thimble Tube inspection and condenser steam side visual inspections. Our array probe technology, utilized for flaw characterization, enables specific corrective measures and determination of remaining useful life of a component. Through a partnership within Curtiss-Wright, we can also provide tube plugging and stabilization services.
We offer innovative remote controlled robotic technology for use in high radiation dose and/or contamination environments. This system has been deployed on several of our projects, resulting in substantial reduction in personnel radiation exposure.
Full Scope Heat Exchanger and Condenser Services
Curtiss-Wright can provide the full scope of heat exchanger services: opening, cleaning testing, plugging and restoration, through collaboration with our teaming partners. We can deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for heat exchanger maintenance, testing and corrective measures.
SG Eddy Current Testing
Curtiss-Wright's data analysis services are built to be user-friendly on every level: they can be performed on a variety of analysis software platforms, and remote analysis can be performed, minimizing travel and site training costs. Remote analysis over T-1 or VPN network connections has been performed for both domestic US and international clients. Our data management personnel are also proficient in the use of many data management software offerings - our data acquisition specialists have worked with nearly every remote delivery system in use in the US, as well as performed repair functions (tube plugging and sleeving) and equipment maintenance.
In addition to our analysis services, our commitment to personnel training and development, our participation in industry committees and working groups, and our involvement with Code and regulatory bodies allows us to provide our customers with superior inspection and oversight personnel. Several of our Level III personnel function as independent Qualified Data Analysts (IQDA) or as contracted Utility Level III. In each of these cases, the personnel are responsible for oversight of the entire inspection program. Curtiss-Wright's Anatec group also offers:
- Auto Analysis Software
- IM-2 Manipulator System
- SG Eddy Current Testing Independent Data Analysis
Training and Certification Services
ET knowledge transfer is a key capability for our organization. We provide fundamental and specialized training services for our clients in basics of eddy current testing, array probe testing, Qualified Data Analyst (QDA) training and Level III training and certification. We have also conducted Data Base Management training for our staff and clients. Specialized training on Advanced Electromagnetic Testing can be provided for Surface Array probe testing, Pulsed Eddy Current Testing and Remote Field and ACFM testing. Our team can provide tailored training services based on your unique needs and requirements.
