EAGLE 2000 PLUS MULTCHANNEL NDT SYSTEM
FOR TUBE INSPECTION FROM THE I.D.
and Services for NDT
LOCATE TUBE DEFECTS IN HEAT EXCHANGERS OR DRUM TO DRUM BOILERS BEFORE THEY CAUSE FAILURES
WITH THE EAGLE 2000 PLUS MULTICHANNEL NDT SYSTEM. USING THE REMOTE FIELD ELECTROMAGNETIC
TECHNIQUE (RFET) METHOD, THE EAGLE 2000 PLUS DETECTS AND QUANTIFIES CORROSION, EROSION, PITTING,
CRACKING, AND MECHANICAL DEFECTS TO PREVENT COSTLY AND DANGEROUS TUBE FAILURES. THE EAGLE
2000 PLUS TESTS STRAIGHT AND U-BEND HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES OR BENT BOILER TUBES, FINNED OR
UNFINNED TUBES, FERROUS OR NON-FERROUS TUBES, AS WELL AS SMALL DIAMTER PIPES.
The Eagle 2000 Plus Multichannel NDT System is a fast,
accurate, cost effective, and field proven system for tube exami-
nation from the I.D. It can be used in single channel mode,
differential mode, or multichannel mode depending upon the
type of inspection required. A full 100% circumferential test is
performed over the tube’s full length, not just at finite points, as
with some other NDT methods. The system can be used to test
virtually any tube-constructed type of process equipment such as
boilers, heat exchangers, air coolers/fin fans, air heaters, etc.
The Eagle 2000 Plus can also test small diameter process piping
and provide baseline evaluation of new or stock tubes. The
Eagle 2000 Plus not only detects flaws in such tubes, but also
quantifies and characterizes them.

System Versatility
. Single channel probes can operate in either absolute or
. differential modes
Multichannel probes allow for smaller defect detection and

The system can test boiler tubes from either the mud or the
steam drums. Using flexable probes allows the bends to be
tested with full detection/quantification capabilities. The
inner and outer radius of boiler bends are very susceptable
to defects

Fill factor is not critical with RFET technology (unlike
standard eddy current technique). One size of probe will
