In 1968, the newly founded Zetec won its first government contract to inspect steam generator tubing. The data inspectors used Zetec's first analog, single-frequency eddy current tester, then the state of the art. As nuclear power flourished commercially in the 1970's and 1980's, the young start-up company applied its eddy current testing technology to support customers around the world who were designing and building power plants. Zetec's eddy current equipment, training, and methodology became recognized as the worldwide standard for inspection in the power generation industry. Since then, Zetec has become the leader in NDE, first in nuclear power, then in balance-of-plant and process industry applications. The company has expanded its application of eddy current technology into ultrasonic, remote field and magnetic flux leakage testing. Originally headquartered in Issaquah, Washington, Zetec created their first analog testers in small offices and even in an old dairy barn. The original testers utilized reel-to-reel recorders and simple robotic positioners, Zetec products have advanced enormously. Today, Zetec offers a full line of state-of-the-art eddy current inspection systems as well as ultrasonic testers, robotics, software, scanners and probes.
