Overview

Eddy Current Testing (ET/ECT) is an electromagnetic NDT method used to detect surface and near-surface flaws in electrically conductive materials. An alternating current-carrying coil is placed near the test surface, inducing eddy currents in the material. Defects or material property changes alter the eddy current flow, which is detected as changes in the coil impedance.

In Chile, Eddy Current Testing is essential for maintaining safety and reliability across critical industries including Mining, Power Generation, Manufacturing, Construction. Our certified NDT inspectors have extensive experience with Eddy Current Testing applications specific to Chile's unique industrial landscape and regulatory environment.

Whether you operate equipment at Escondida Mine or Codelco Operations, or other facilities in the Chile area, our ET specialists are equipped to deliver reliable, code-compliant inspection services that meet your operational requirements.
