Eddy Current Testing
for Installation or Repair

M.R. Mechanical offers professional eddy current testing for commercial and industrial HVAC and mechanical systems in Vancouver, WA. Our non-destructive testing (NDT) services help detect cracks, corrosion, and weaknesses in metal components before they cause failure—ensuring the reliability of your equipment.

What Is Eddy Current Testing?

Eddy current testing (ECT) is an advanced inspection method that uses electromagnetic fields to identify flaws in conductive materials, such as steel, copper, and aluminum.

It is especially useful for detecting surface and subsurface defects in:

Chiller tubes
Boiler tubes
Heat exchangers
Piping and tubing
Rotating machinery components

ECT is fast, accurate, and does not require disassembly, making it ideal for preventative maintenance and scheduled inspections.

What ECT Can Detect

Our eddy current testing services can uncover:

Cracks and stress fractures
Wall thinning from corrosion or erosion
Pitting, scaling, and fouling
Weld defects and fatigue damage
Tube degradation from chemical exposure

This data helps prevent catastrophic failures, reduce energy loss, and improve operational efficiency.
