ED-400

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Centurion NDT Model ED-400 is a portable, solid-state eddy current flaw detector designed for identifying cracks and surface defects in both magnetic and non-magnetic metals. It is compact, lightweight, and user-friendly, offering excellent signal-to-noise ratio across various metals.
Key Features:
  • High sensitivity for detecting cracks in magnetic materials, capable of full-scale deflection for 0.008" milled slots.
  • High signal-to-noise ratio, minimizing interference from background magnetic permeability variations.
  • Effective lift-off compensation to eliminate false signals from surface coatings.
  • Static and dynamic testing capabilities with a wide dynamic range.
  • Stable performance with adjustable threshold circuit and audio indicator.
  • Operates on two "AA" alkaline batteries, with a battery life of 400-500 hours.
  • Compact and rugged construction with state-of-the-art circuitry.
  • Includes a standard reference block for performance checks and a wide selection of interchangeable probes.
Applications: The ED-400 is suitable for use in maintenance, receiving inspection, process control, final inspection, and research. It is particularly valuable in environments like foundries, heat treat shops, manufacturing plants, steel mills, and automotive plants where quick and accurate data is essential for product reliability.
Operation: The ED-400 uses the eddy current principle to detect surface and near-surface discontinuities. It features a differential probe that forms part of a bridge circuit within the instrument. The device is housed in a high-impact resistant ABS enclosure and comes with standard accessories like a steel test block and a flaw detection probe. Key controls include gain, balance, power switch, alarm, alarm set, and probe connector. The instrument is designed to ignore variations in material conductivity, permeability, and thickness, focusing instead on disruptions caused by defects.
Specifications:
  • Case Dimensions: 3.5" x 7.1" x 1.9" high
  • Weight: 0.8 lb with probe attached
  • Frequency: 100 kHz
  • Power Requirements: Two "AA" alkaline cells
  • Readout: 2.5" wide scale numbered from 0 to 500 in 50 divisions
  • Environmental Capability: Operates in temperatures from 0° to 120°F at 85% RH

ED-400 Hand Held Flaw DetectorSpecial Features The Centurion NDT Model ED-400 is a portable, solid state eddy current instrument which detects cracks and other surface defects in magnetic and non-magnetic metals. It is compact, lightweight and simple to set up and operate. It provides excellent signal to noise ratio on virtually all metals. • Excellent sensitivity for magnetic material crack detection-provides full scale deflection for 0.008” milled slot. • Extremely high signal/noise ratio. Virtually ignores background magnetic permeability variations. • Excellent lift off compensation eliminates erroneous signals due to surface scale and coatings. • Static or dynamic testing-a wide dynamic range. • Extremely good stability. • Adjustable threshold circuit and audio indicator. • Operates on two ”AA” Alkaline batteries. • State-of-art circuitry--compact, rugged construction. • Simple to set up and operate. • Wide selection of interchangeable probes. • Includes standard reference block for checking equipment performance. • High quality components ensure minimum maintenance. The ED-400 eddy current unit is an electronic test device which will locate surface and near surface discontinuities in magnetic materials. Non-magnetic materials may also be tested. In magnetic steel products and materials, defects as small as 0.005” deep may be detected with ease, if they are open and normal to the surface. The ED-400 is widely used in maintenance, receiving inspection, process control, final inspection and research. Its compactness makes the ED-400 valuable for testi
