With the use of eddy current technology, you can offer your customers a more thorough tank inspection, increasing the safety of everyone involved in the use, transport, and filling of scuba cylinders.

Designed specifically to detect cracks in tank necks, the Simple Eddy is easy to use and offers consistent test results. As a manufacturer and exporter of nondestructive test equipment worldwide for almost 20 years, you can trust our expertise in this field.

This unit is only the latest in our line of eddy current equipment. To give you a little background on our company, our main line of business is the manufacture of eddy current testing equipment for the metals industry. The Simple Eddy was designed specifically for the scuba diving industry to check for cracks in the neck threads of scuba cylinders. The machine s designer is also a diver with his own dive shop on the side so he is in tune with this industry as well as the nondestructive test field.

The unit was designed with simplicity in mind. We supply a reference piece, the test probe, and the Simple Eddy. Before commencing your inspection, you simply verify that the manufactured defect in the reference piece can be detected with the probe. Once calibration has been established, you are ready to begin inspecting tanks. The Simple Eddy will give an alarm when the probe passes over a defect, It s that simple!

The Simple Eddy package includes the unit, probe, and reference sample. We also offer EOI stickers indicating that a tank has been eddy current tested. Should you have any questions or need further information from us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Note: In the interest of promoting scuba tank safety, this page was formatted as a courtesy to the Engineered Inspection Systems company and was based on one their brochure. I (Chris's Uncle) am not affiliated with this company in any way and they are not associated with any scuba tank manufacturer. Their Simple Eddy product works in much the same way as the Visual Plus machine. Some cracks can be so small that they are essentially invisible to the naked eye. The Simple Eddy device uses eddy currents to catch hidden defects that are difficult, if not impossible, to find otherwise.

Aluminum scuba tanks made from alloy 6351-T6 that are over 10 years old are highly susceptible to SLC (Sustained Load Cracking) which is what caused the tank in Chris's case to explode. If, for whatever reason, you cannot discard or refuse to fill these tanks, consider requiring the tank to be electronically inspected with an eddy current device at least twice a year before you fill them. Isn't your safety and the safety of your employees and customers worth something?
