Ectane 2
Over the last decade, Eddyfi Ectane® has become the undisputed reference for heat exchanger tubing inspection and surface eddy current array, all around the globe. Thanks to a compact form-factor and its unmatched robustness, the multi-technology instrument earned a reputation for being best-in-class.

Portability and Autonomy
The Eddyfi Ectane 2 test instrument is approximately 10 L (610 cu.in.) in volume and weighs in at 6.8 kg (15 lb), making it about three times more compact than other legacy test instruments. Ectane 2 is therefore easy to carry beyond being rugged. The instrument is also battery powered with 8 hours of autonomy that eliminate the need for an external power source.
Unlike some fragile systems on the market, Ectane was built for real-life conditions: cold, hot, dusty, humid (or simply wet!), where occasional shocks and drops are meant to happen. Ectane is the tester you can trust.
Features
Powerful CPU Board — The Ectane 2’s board (100% Eddyfi) has a faster CPU, which delivers more punch for ultrafast probe nulling and real-time processing. This greatly contributes to making quality inspections with the Ectane 2 easier than ever before with any technology combination, whether it is ECT, ECA, TECA, RFT, NFT, NFA, MFL, or IRIS.
Improved Maximum Frequency — The maximum ECT frequency is now 10 MHz, which offers more flexibility and better performance in a variety of tubing and surface applications.
Current Source for Saturation Probes — Available on the 41-pin connector, this built-in source can be programmed to control the current output that feeds into partial saturation ECT probes and magnetic bias ECT probes.
Motor Drive for RPC Probes — The Ectane 2 is capable of driving motorized rotating pancake coil (RPC) probes, thanks to its powerful built-in motor drive. This is useful in applications where RPC probes are used to find longitudinal and circumferential cracks.
