Eddy current analysis · tube inspection

Plug the right tubes.

Eddy Workbench ranks every tube by true risk, depth and size together. It checks that every retest is done, then prints client-ready maps and damage reports, straight from your CoreStar data.

Why it matters

Depth alone is only half the story.

Sort a plug list by percent through wall and a tiny pinhole jumps the queue, while a wide flaw that has taken far more metal waits. When the plugging margin is tight, that order decides which tubes fail next. Eddy Workbench scores every flaw by its depth and its size, and every tube by all of its flaws.

plug picks change when the list is ranked by true risk instead of depth, on real inspection data from one condenser.

The engine · TrueRisk scoring

An algorithm that thinks like a senior analyst.

Most tools sort by one number. TrueRisk weighs how deep each flaw goes, how much metal it has taken, and everything else in the same tube, then puts every tube in plugging order, with its working shown.

riskper tube = depth³% through wall × √sizesignal volts + every other flaw½, ¼, ⅛ … in turn
01 · Depth

Deep flaws count disproportionately

Depth is cubed, so each step toward through-wall matters more than the last. An 80% flaw carries far more weight than a 60% one.

02 · Size

Volts measure the metal that is gone

Signal size scales the score, so a wide gouge outranks a pinhole of the same depth, and a tiny deep call no longer jumps the queue.

03 · The whole tube

Every flaw in the tube adds up

The worst flaw counts in full and each next one adds a falling share, so a tube with several real flaws rises above a tube with one.

04 · Clean data

One flaw, counted once

The same indication called on two channels, or by two analysts, at the same spot is merged into one. Dents and plugged tubes stay out of the ranking.

What it does

From raw calls to a plug plan.

01 · Damage map

Every tube, ranked by true risk

The whole bundle coloured from mildest to worst. No queries to write, no thresholds to guess.

02 · Plug budget

Type how many you can plug

The worst tubes light up, the rest fade back, and the list saves as a plan CoreStar opens.

03 · Any tube

Every flaw, on the wall

Click a tube to see each flaw cut into the wall at its landmark, plus its history across outages.

04 · Retest check

Every full-size and downsized retest, accounted for

Each tube is checked against the test plan and its required extent. The retest plans are written for you before the crew leaves.
