Near field technique (NFT) eddy current technology is a rapid and inexpensive inspection solution designed specifically for ID defect detection in carbon steel fin-fan tubes. NFT probes cut costs and improve ease of use because they do not require expensive and cumbersome externally referenced coils.

NFT probes cut costs and improve ease of use because they do not require expensive and cumbersome externally referenced coils. This new technology, which is based on a simple eddy current driver/pickup design, pro- vides signals that are very easy to analyze. Because NFT probes operate within the same frequency range as remote eld technique (RFT) probes, NFT probes are manufactured for use with the standard MultiScan MS 5800 RFT connector. NFT Signal Features Ideal for carbon steel n-fan tubes No need for a reference probe or extension Excellent detection of internal corrosion and axial cracks based on sensitivity of eddy current to lift-off (or ll-factor) Absolute and differential channels High-quality amplitude-based signals for very fast and simple data analysis Thick stainless-steel casing for increased wear resistance Compatible with the MultiScan MS 5800R instrument NOTE: These probes are not designed to detect OD defects or circumferential cracks.

Probe Part Number Example Near eld probe model (TRD), 17.0 mm diameter (170), 300 Hz center frequency (300), nylon-type standard cable (N), 30-meter cable length (30). Probe Outside Diameter Standard probe diameters are available from 16.0 mm (0.63 in.) to 28.0 mm (1.10 in.). The part number shows the diameter in tenths of a millimeter (1/10 mm): therefore, 17.0 mm = 170. The standard diameters available are listed in the chart below: Probe diameter (catalog) Diameter value 160 16.0 mm (0.63 in.) 170 17.0 mm (0.67 in.) 180 18.0 mm (0.71 in.) 220 22.0 mm (0.87 in.) 240 24.0 mm (0.94 in.) 260 26.0 mm (1.02 in.) 280 28.0 mm (1.10 in.) 300 30.0 mm (1.18 in.) Probe Center Frequency The only available central frequency is 300 (300 Hz) and the frequency range is from 100 Hz to 1 kHz. Probe Cable Probe cable material is nylon (N) only. Cable lengths are in meters: 30 m (100 ft) is the most common length. Also available in a 20 m (65 ft) length. TRD-170-300-N30 Probe diameter (17 mm) Cable Length (30 m) Also available: 20 m
