Eddy-Current Testing (ECT) Services | QCL NY

Reliable Eddy-Current Testing in NY, NJ & CT

QCL NY provides Eddy-Current Testing (ECT) as part of our Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services to detect surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials. Eddy-current testing is a fast and effective inspection method commonly used for evaluating metal components, weld areas, tubing, and structural elements where surface integrity and quality assurance are required.

Our inspectors support construction and industrial projects with accurate testing, documentation, and compliance-focused reporting across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

What is Eddy-Current Testing (ECT)?

Eddy-Current Testing is an NDT method that uses electromagnetic induction. A probe generates a changing magnetic field that creates circulating electrical currents (eddy currents) in the material being tested. If there are defects such as cracks or thinning, the eddy-current flow changes—allowing inspectors to detect issues without damaging the component.

ECT is best for detecting:

• Surface cracks

• Near-surface defects

• Corrosion/metal loss (thinning)

• Material property variations (depending on method)

Eddy-Current Testing Applications

QCL NY provides Eddy-Current Testing for a variety of inspection needs, including:

✅ Crack Detection

• Surface cracking in metal components

• Fatigue cracks and discontinuities

• Inspection of critical areas where early crack detection is important

✅ Weld & Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) Inspection

• Evaluation of weld edges and adjacent areas

• Detection of near-surface flaws after welding or repairs

✅ Corrosion and Metal Loss Evaluation

• Early detection of wall thinning

• Quality verification for metallic components exposed to harsh environments

Benefits of Eddy-Current Testing

Eddy-current testing offers strong advantages for certain inspection scopes:

• Fast inspection method

• Detects surface and near-surface flaws

• Minimal surface preparation required (in many cases)

• Works well on complex-shaped metal parts

• Non-destructive and reliable for quality control programs
