ETher NDE Launches PockET: A Breakthrough in Ultra-Portable Eddy Current Flaw Detection
December 2025
ETher NDE is proud to announce the release of PockET, a next-generation single-channel eddy current flaw detector designed to deliver exceptional inspection performance in a compact, pocket-sized form. Combining advanced eddy current capability with true portability, PockET allows technicians to perform professional-grade inspections anywhere, without the bulk and weight of traditional instruments.
Weighing just 321 grams, the PockET slips easily into "your" pocket or on-site kit bag, making it ideal for field inspections, confined spaces and rapid on-site assessments. Despite its small size, PockET delivers the power, accuracy and reliability; as expected from the ETher NDE range of instruments.
Precision Eddy Current in Your Pocket
PockET brings together high-resolution signals, fast scanning responsiveness and a bright, easy-to-read display. Whether performing surface crack detection or subsurface flaw identification, PockET provides clear, stable indications suitable for aerospace, manufacturing, power generation, automotive, rail and general engineering applications.
“With PockET, we wanted to offer technicians a truly portable flaw detector without sacrificing capability,” said Ian Gough, R&D Manager, ETherNDE. “Inspectors often work in challenging environments, tight spaces or at height, where carrying a full-size instrument is impractical. PockET answers that challenge — it’s small, rugged, intuitive and delivers the performance needed for critical inspections.”
Key Features of the PockET Eddy Current Flaw Detector include:
- Ultra-Lightweight (321 g) – Easy to carry all day, ideal for tight or hard-to-reach spaces.
- High-Resolution Display – Clear signal representation for confident interpretation.
- Supports Absolute, Bridge & Reflection Probes – Wide versatility for surface and subsurface flaw detection.
- >12 Hours Runtime – Long battery life ensures uninterrupted inspections over a full shift.
- 6-Hour Recharge – Ready for the next day with fast turnaround.
- Rugged, Field-Ready Construction – Built to withstand daily use in industrial environments.
- Optional ETherCover Extended Warranty – Adds up to 5 years of support including free annual calibration.
The new PockET eddy current flaw detector is now available through ETherNDE’s global network of distributors and directly from us via the company website. For full specifications, pricing or to request a demonstration, visit the PockET Product Page or contact us directly using sales@ethernde.com.
