Description
WeldCheck – Portable Eddy Current Flaw Detector for Weld Inspection
EtherNDE WeldCheck is a compact, high-performance eddy current (ET) flaw detector specifically designed for weld inspection and heat-affected zone (HAZ) evaluation. Developed by ETher NDE, a world-leading specialist in eddy current technology, WeldCheck provides reliable detection of surface-breaking defects in welded joints across a wide range of industrial applications.
Engineered for simplicity, speed, and accuracy, EtherNDE WeldCheck is an ideal solution for inspectors who require a dedicated, easy-to-use instrument for weld inspection in demanding field and workshop environments.
Optimized for Weld Inspection Applications
WeldCheck is purpose-built for the inspection of weld caps, toes, and heat-affected zones in carbon steel, stainless steel, and other conductive materials. Using advanced eddy current technology, the instrument enables fast and reliable detection of surface cracks, lack of fusion, and other weld-related discontinuities without the need for couplants or extensive surface preparation.
Its optimized frequency ranges and signal processing features ensure excellent sensitivity to surface-breaking defects, even on rough or uneven weld surfaces.
Clear Signal Visualization and Simple Operation
The instrument features a clear, high-contrast display that presents eddy current signals in an easy-to-interpret format, enabling inspectors to quickly identify defect indications. The user interface is intentionally streamlined, allowing fast setup and minimal parameter adjustment, which reduces operator error and training time.
WeldCheck is particularly well suited for inspectors who require a straightforward, reliable tool for repetitive weld inspections, including production line checks and in-service inspections.
Probe Compatibility and Practical Flexibility
EtherNDE WeldCheck is compatible with a wide range of standard eddy current weld probes, including surface and weld-specific probes designed for scanning weld caps and toes. This compatibility ensures flexibility across different weld geometries and materials.
The device supports quick probe changes and stable signal performance, making it suitable for continuous inspection tasks in industrial environments.
Portable and Rugged Design
Designed for use in harsh inspection conditions, EtherNDE WeldCheck features a compact, lightweight, and rugged housing that withstands industrial use. Its ergonomic design allows comfortable one-handed operation, even in confined or elevated work areas.
The internal rechargeable battery provides extended operating time, supporting full inspection shifts without interruption. The instrument can also be used while charging, ensuring continuous availability during critical inspection work.
Data Storage and Inspection Consistency
WeldCheck allows the storage of inspection setups and reference signals, enabling consistent inspection procedures across multiple components and operators. This functionality improves repeatability and supports quality control requirements in regulated industries.
