    Eddy Current: A Method For Inspecting Non-Ferromagnetic Metals

    Uploaded by

    Jesus
    Eddy current testing uses a magnetic field to detect discontinuities in non-ferromagnetic metals like pipes and tubing. It works by measuring changes in impedance as an electromagnetic coil is scanned over a surface. When the coil passes over a discontinuity, the secondary magnetic field is distorted, changing the coil's loading and impedance. This allows the method to identify anomalies without contacting the component's surface, making it suitable for high-temperature inspection and coated surfaces.

    Eddy Current

    A Method for Inspecting Non-Ferromagnetic Metals

    Eddy current testing is used to detect discontinuities in assets such as pipes and tubing by subjecting
    them to a strong external magnetic field.

    Eddy current methods are generally used in plant Applications


    inspections for non-ferromagnetic metals or special • Nonferrous materials such as copper,
    applications such as heat exchanger tubes where a brass, 304 stainless steel, 90/10 CuNi, etc.
    number of special coil designs are available. However, • Internal tubing inspection in components
    special differential Eddy current probes have recently such as main condensers, air conditioning
    been developed for the inspection of steel components units, lube oil coolers
    including welds.
    Advantages
    This method is based on the principle of measuring • No contact with component surface is

    over a discontinuity, the secondary magnetic field is is achiev able through measurement at a

    discontinuities or anomalies may be identified.
