Commercial Eddy Current Testing (Chillers) in Los Angeles

When uptime, safety, and energy performance matter, eddy current testing is the gold standard for understanding the true condition of your chiller tubes. Our process helps you move from reactive fixes to predictive maintenance, so you can plan repairs on your terms and avoid costly mid‑season failures.

What Eddy Current Testing Covers

We inspect condenser and evaporator tubes across a wide range of materials, including copper, cupronickel, stainless steel, and other common alloys. Using calibrated probes, we identify and quantify defects such as:

• Wall thinning and general corrosion
• Pitting, cracking, and stress‑related defects
• Fouling, scale, and deposit indications
• Denting, erosion at support plates, and tube sheet anomalies
• Leaker identification and plug recommendations

The result is a clear, tube‑by‑tube condition snapshot that supports smarter decisions and better seasonal reliability.

Our Commercial ECT Process

We’ve refined a fast, repeatable workflow designed around critical facilities and complex buildings:

• Pre‑job planning: asset inventory, tube counts, diameters, materials, and access planning
• Coordination with your operations team to minimize downtime and bypass disruptions
• Non‑destructive scanning with bobbin and rotating probes where applicable
• On‑site validation with sample tubes to confirm accuracy
• Immediate verbal findings, followed by a detailed written report

If cleaning or brushing is required for best data quality, we can coordinate the sequence so inspection time and plant impact stay minimal.

Deliverables You Receive

Expect professional documentation engineered for action:

• Tube sheet maps and color‑coded severity charts
• Defect callouts with estimated depth and location
• Prioritized repair and plugging recommendations
• Lifecycle guidance and retest interval suggestions
• Optional data exports for CMMS and capital planning

We translate advanced signals into practical steps that facilities, energy, and capital teams can use immediately.

Why it Matters for Los Angeles Buildings

Los Angeles heat, variable water chemistry, and long runtime hours accelerate tube wear. Small defects can quietly raise kW/ton, push compressors harder, and set the stage for unplanned outages. ECT finds issues early, helping you maintain healthy indoor air and keep tenants, patients, students, guests, and staff comfortable and safe.
