Hawkeye 2000
Hawkeye 2000 NDT Inspection System
The Testex, Inc. developed Hawkeye 2000 System is based on the principles of Balanced Field Eddy Current. It is used to detect surface and sub-surface cracking in welds. With scanning speeds from a few inches/second to 1 foot/second, the Hawkeye 2000 is much faster than conventional NDT techniques such as Dye Penetrant and Magnetic Particle testing.
The Hawkeye 2000 System can be used for a multitude of welding inspections, such as, pressure vessel weld inspections, tube to header weld inspections, dissimilar metal weld inspections, etc. This system can virtually be used anywhere there is a cracking issue.
The Hawkeye 2000 System can detect cracking within 3/8” of the surface. It also is a dry method, which needs minimal surface preparation.
