Eddyfi Lyft: The Ultimate Tool for Detecting Corrosion Under Insulation

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is possibly the greatest unresolved asset integrity problem in the industry. Current methods for measuring wall thickness over insulation (liftoff) without removing it all have severe limitations. Lyft is a high-performance solution reinventing pulsed eddy current (PEC). The patent-pending Eddyfi® solution features:

  • State-of-the-art portable instrument
  • Standard pulsed eddy current array (PECA) technology
  • Real-time C-scan imaging
  • Fast data acquisition
  • Grid and dynamic scanning modes


The Eddyfi Lyft can scan through thick metal and insulation, as well as aluminum, stainless steel, and galvanized steel weather jackets. It also benefits from a range of PECA, single-element PEC, and application-specific probes to support various applications.
