PEC & PECA in Detail

PEC (Pulsed Eddy Current) and PECA (Pulsed Eddy Current Array) are state-of-the-art electromagnetic testing methods designed for corrosion detection and wall thickness measurement in ferromagnetic materials — especially where direct access is limited. These techniques are particularly effective for inspecting assets covered with insulation, coatings, or fireproofing, eliminating the need for costly removal and surface prep.

PEC works by inducing pulsed magnetic fields into the material and analyzing the resulting eddy current decay to assess wall thickness and detect corrosion. It is ideal for screening under insulation in pipelines, storage tanks, and offshore structures. PECA, the array-based evolution of PEC, allows for higher-resolution imaging, faster data collection, and broader area coverage in a single scan — making it more efficient for mapping corrosion in large or complex surfaces.

At 2R Inspection, our PEC and PECA services are delivered using the latest generation of portable, high-sensitivity equipment. Our certified specialists follow global best practices and standards, providing clients with reliable, data-rich reports for risk-based inspection programs, maintenance planning, and compliance with integrity management systems. With 2R Inspection, you get a fast, non-intrusive solution to hidden corrosion — keeping your assets safe, efficient, and in service longer.
