EDDY CURRENT: ECT EXTENDED ASME CALIBRATION TUBE

RECOMMENDED CALIBRATION TUBES
The CT02 ECT calibration tube below provides every defect that is required to perform a good ECT calibration and
build strong phase-to-depth curves. In fact, this tube is not only conforming to the ASME standards. In addition, it
also provides wall thinning defects in order to help users to perform a more accurate calibration.
