Eddy Current Arrays

Our Electromagnetics NDT Tutor, Dr. James M. Watson PhD MInstNDT recently delivered a presentation at the 20th WCNDT in South Korea on 'The Growing Popularity of Eddy Current Arrays in Industry', the need for a new separate PCN (ISO 9712) certification for inspection via eddy current array technologies, and the scope and challenges.

If you were lucky enough to attend Dr James’ presentation you will know the talk was very well received and he answered many questions from the attendees on how we can take this concept from an idea to a reality.

The Growing Popularity of Eddy Current Arrays in Industry

Key points included. 

– Lavender international has identified the technical and industrial need for a new separate PCN (ISO 9712) certification for inspection via eddy current array technologies.

– We have engaged with several UK companies across industry sectors to assess their requirements to aid defining the scope of the certification so is of direct relevance to industry: in terms of sector, materials and types of defects inspected for.

– Scope designed to be a single certification that is multi-sector, multi material, based on the fundamentals of eddy current array technologies, their capabilities, best practice and workflow compliance to relevant standards/codes.

New PCN Certification

– Subject to PCN approval of draft certification documents and excludes tubes, pulsed eddy current and alternating current field measurement array technologies.

Scope of New PCN Certification

We welcome any opinions, feedback or suggestions we encourage you to send any of the aforementioned to james.watson@lavender-ndt.com
