The Zetec MIZ-21C Eddy Current Tester makes measurement fast and easy<\/em><\/p>\n

The Case for Eddy Current Testing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Whether you’re trying to detect cracks near fastener holes, identify corrosion in airframes or make conductivity measurements, Eddy Current (EC) is a nondestructive way to conduct your inspection. There are a few different nondestructive testing techniques, including liquid penetrant testing (LPT), magnetic particle testing (MPT), and eddy current testing (ECT). Why should ECT be used?<\/p>\n

Eddy Current Testing is best for applications that require high probability of detection, like measuring conductivity in aircraft aluminum to verify the proper heat treatment, or for scanning large areas for surface cracks (Eddy Current Array). These types of tests enable you to efficiently acquire more data, making testing that much easier for technicians in many situations.<\/p>\n

When looking for a device that can handle multiple applications, increase probability of detection and put operators at ease with friendly-form factor and interface, the MIZ-21C<\/a> excels.<\/p>\n

Zetec<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Zetec, in business for more than 50 years, is a global leader in nondestructive testing (NDT) solutions. A subsidiary of Roper Technologies, Inc., Zetec specializes in manufacturing NDT equipment for applications that require fast, cost-efficient inspection with heightened levels of insight and control.<\/p>\n

Zetec considers the quality of their equipment to be a strategic advantage. As a result, the company has created their own internal quality and compliance program based on the following quality standards:<\/p>\n

\u2022 ISO 9001
\n\u2022 ISO\/IEC 17025
\n\u2022 10CFR50
\n\u2022 10CFR51<\/p>\n

About the MIZ-21C<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The MIZ-21C Eddy Current Tester is one of the most advanced handheld eddy current units available today. It\u2019s a highly portable and cost-effective replacement for liquid penetrant testing (LPT) and magnetic particle testing (MPT) inspections that create continual consumable costs, a longer processing time and cleaning of parts before and after inspection.<\/p>\n

Zetec designed the MIZ-21C eddy current tester to be a cost-effective, ergonomic (single-hand operation) solution for extended use in nondestructive flaw detection. The MIZ-21C has passed many important environmental tests, including meeting MIL-STD-810H standards, drop tests from 4 feet, storage and operating in challenging temperatures (502.7 procedures I & II, 501.7 procedures I & II) allowing it to be used in harsh environments. Replaceable, rechargeable batteries support all-day operation, virtually eliminating down time. Its portable design makes it ideal for hard-to-reach areas for testing.<\/p>\n

Where the MIZ-21C really shines is its flexibility. It can come with a surface array option which can reduce inspection time by up to 95% versus pencil probes for large area scans. Features such as increased internal storage capacity, multi-language software and both USB and wireless connectivity make the device flexible enough to work in almost any environment.<\/p>\n

Among all these features, performance is not sacrificed. Its exceptional signal-to-noise ratio helps inspectors distinguish true signals in single and dual frequency. Dual frequency with mixing nearly eliminates undesirable signals caused by air gaps in layers, making inspections more precise and targeted on the flaws in question.<\/p>\n
