The Cleansolv EHF™ cleaning program can clean a 40’ SAG gear in less than an hour.

• The primary objective of cleaning with regards to Eddy Current Array (ASTM E2905) is to eliminate the accumulation of contaminated lubricant, which causes variations in lift-off for the probe
• Lift-off variations compromise the sensitivity of the inspection probe, resulting in inconsistent data throughout the inspection process
• This lack of consistency prevents repeatability in subsequent inspections, making it impossible to replicate previous results and thereby hindering the ability to identify trends

This is why gear teeth cleaning is integrated into the ASTM E2905 standard.
