Improvement of remote field eddy current testing using pancake coils

  • 1. Tohoku Univ., Inst. of Fluid Science, Sendai, Miyagi (Japan)

Description

We are developing remote field eddy current testing (RFECT) method using pancake coils for evaluating local wall thinning of large diameter pipes. This paper shows a study to improve the detectability and sizing capability of this RFECT method. The study was performed by numerical calculations and laboratory experiments. The results show that introducing differential pick-up coils makes detection signals more stable and improves the detectability of our RFECT method. (author)
