What Zetec, Inc. does
Zetec, Inc. is a Snoqualmie, Washington-based manufacturer of advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment serving critical-inspection needs in nuclear power, oil and gas, aerospace, manufacturing, rail, maritime, and military industries. Founded in 1968 to supply eddy current testing (ECT) instruments and bobbin probes for nuclear steam generator inspections, the company has built its product portfolio around two complementary modalities: ECT for near-surface flaw detection in conductive materials and ultrasonic testing (UT), including phased-array UT added through the 2004 acquisition of R/D Tech's power generation assets in Quebec City.
Zetec's product line includes MIZ-series eddy current instruments (MIZ-200, MIZ-85iD, MIZ-28, MIZ-80iD, InSite HT & CT), an extensive probe catalog spanning more than 10,000 designs (X-Probe, CXB array probes, Surf-X tape probes, bobbin, rotating, handheld, and surface array probes), software platforms for data acquisition and analysis (Eddynet PC, RevospECT Pro, RevospECT HX Pro, Velocity, UltraVision ET), and mechanical probe-delivery systems (ZR-100 inspection robot, SM-23G remote fixture, 10D4 probe pusher, High Speed 3D). Acquired UT brands DYNARAY/DYNARAY LITE and TOPAZ round out the portfolio. Integrated solutions such as the Eddy Current Array (ECA) system combine MIZ-200, Surf-X tape probes (up to 224 mm single-pass scan), and UltraVision ET software.
The company monetizes through hardware sales of instruments, probes, and mechanical systems; software licenses; engineered-to-order custom solutions; and recurring services including calibration, preventive maintenance, on-site inspection support (RevospECT Inspection Services), and formal ECT training courses. Distribution runs through a global direct sales force and channel partner network, with regional Centers of Excellence in Houston, Paris, Seoul, and Shanghai. Zetec operates as an autonomous subsidiary of Eddyfi/NDT (joined 2022), having previously been owned by Roper Technologies (2002–2022). Its quality system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025, 10CFR50 Appendix B, NQA-1-2015, and 10CFR21, supporting qualification with nuclear customers.
