Lavender International invests in Zetec equipment for eddy current courses
18/02/2022
After recent investment in new equipment for alternating current field measurement (ACFM) and testing of tubular products using eddy current arrays, Lavender International is continuing to upgrade its electromagnetic testing courses with the purchase of eight eddy current MIZ-21C instruments from Zetec to complement the company’s eddy current training.Part of Eddyfi Technologies, Zetec is a global leader in non-destructive testing solutions for the critical inspection needs of industries including power generation, oil & gas, aerospace, automotive, maritime, military, rail and manufacturing.
The MIZ-21C is a user-friendly state-of-the-art portable eddy current array instrument. The intuitive user interface makes it easy for students to create and store multiple inspection techniques for a wide variety of applications. Inspection data can be saved using the ample internal memory or an external storage device, where it can then be transferred to UltraVision ET for thorough analysis and reporting.With an impressive signal-to-noise ratio, the MIZ-21C is said to excel in all applications: bolt holes, rivet holes, corrosion and cracking in multi-layered structures, conductivity and coating thickness measurements, weld inspection and depth sizing.
Compatible with a multitude of the latest generation and legacy probes, the MIZ-21C also has array capabilities. This allows inspection times to be reduced by up to 95% and, in most cases, only a single scan is required to reveal surface discontinuities in all directions.
Using the MIZ-21C will bring students to the forefront of eddy current testing, with the ability to display live scans directly on a TV for interactive teaching, creating exciting and engaging ways to deliver the course.
“Investing in the MIZ-21C will allow Lavender students to get hands-on with one of the finest eddy current testing instruments on the market today, expanding the learning opportunity to better understand the eddy current method and a wide range of different inspection techniques. With further developments to come, this is an exciting time for students to expand their knowledge of electromagnetic testing at Lavender International,” said Andrew Waller, Department Manager for Eddy Current and ACFM, Lavender International.
