Precision Hardware for Global NDT Professionals
At Russell NDE, we design and manufacture the industry’s most reliable Eddy Current and RFT/NFT instruments and probes. Our technology is engineered to provide exceptional data quality for heat exchanger and boiler tube inspections. From portable multi-frequency instruments to specialized array probes, our hardware suites are the global standard for heat exchanger and boiler integrity.
The Ferroscope EMITM is our flagship multi-method instrument. It is the most versatile electromagnetic tool on the market, capable of driving ECT, RFT, and NFT applications from a single unit. With a sampling rate of 1,000 samples per second and 16-channel capacity, it supports fast probe pull speeds and multiple array probe configurations.
Whether you are performing high-speed non-ferrous tube testing or deep-penetration RFT on carbon steel, the Ferroscope EMI provides the signal quality and processing power required for ASME and ASNT code requirements.
An instrument is only as effective as the sensor at the end of the cable. We manufacture a comprehensive range of NDT probes tailored to specific industrial geometries and degradation types. Our probes are designed for durability and high signal-to-noise ratios, ensuring that even small volume defects are detected.
To ensure your team is fully proficient with our Eddy Current instruments, we offer professional certification and technical instruction. Our training programs are designed to take technicians from foundational theory to advanced data interpretation on the Ferroscope platform.
We can manufacture custom NIST-traceable calibration standards using a sample of your specific tube material. This ensures the highest possible accuracy for wall-loss detection and sizing in non-standard assets.
Our analysis software is typically bundled with the instrument, allowing your team to perform data review and reporting without the burden of recurring individual seat licenses or “software keys”.
Because we handle all R&D and assembly in-house, we can often move from a finalized design to a field-ready custom probe in a fraction of the time required by larger, outsourced manufacturers.
Yes. The Ferroscope EMI features Ethernet connectivity and high sample rates, making it ideal for integration into factory “Pass/Fail” sorting systems or continuous monitoring stations.
We provide comprehensive factory calibration and repair services at our Edmonton headquarters. We also offer loaner instruments to ensure your inspection schedule remains uninterrupted during maintenance.
“Partnering with Russell NDE for our Ferroscope, probe manufacturing and overall support was one of the best decisions we’ve made—the precision and consistency across every unit always meet our expectations, the turnaround time was remarkably fast without any compromise on quality. From start to finish the service, communication and finished product have always been great.”
