Abstract

A pipeline elbow detection method based on remote field eddy current and a detection device. The invention mainly solves the technical problem that the existing eddy current detection for pipeline elbow has blind zone or poor probe traversability. The technical scheme is as below: a remote field eddy current sensor including two identical exciting units and a receiving unit is employed, and the two exciting units are located on both sides of the receiving unit; the exciting units and receiving unit are arranged along the circumferential direction of the pipeline elbow cross section; the receiving unit area is located in the remote field area for measurement of indirect coupled magnetic field signal; when the remote field eddy current sensor applies harmonic excitation, double excitation is used to zoom in the remote field area to improve the signal amplitude; the sensor scans along the circumferential direction of the pipeline elbow to measure the phase difference between the signal received by the receiving unit and the excitation signal, so as to obtain change characteristics of the phase difference, namely the corrosion and crack information of the pipeline elbow. The method and device mainly use remote field eddy current principle and can be applied to pipeline elbow defect detection.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electromagnetic nondestructive detection method, in particular to a detection method and a special device for corrosion or crack defects at the elbow of a pipeline based on far-field eddy current. Background technique [0002] Pipelines are widely used in many industries such as oil and gas, chemical industry, electric power and heating. Pipe elbows are an indispensable part of the pipeline system. Most pipe elbows are affected by high temperature, high pressure and complex external environment during work, and the inner surface of the outer surface of the pipe elbow is always scoured by the medium during use, resulting in erosion and corrosion and thinning of the pipe wall. In addition, under high temperature and pressure, the pipe wall of the pipe elbow is prone to cracks. The above defects are easy to expand rapidly under high pressure, causing the pipe wall at the pipe elbow to crack, which in turn leads to leakage accidents...
