Abstract
Description
[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application with the application number 97196272.3, the application date is July 11, 1997, and the invention name is "eddy current detection technology". technical field
[0002] The present invention relates to techniques for detecting objects made of conductive materials. The technical term "detecting an object" used in this specification and claims refers to measuring the thickness of an object, detecting whether there is a subsurface crack in an object, detecting the non-conductive Perform technical operations such as measuring the thickness of a layer of non-reactive material. Such objects may be, for example, container walls, pipe walls, and the like. Background technique
[0003] The effective thickness of objects such as steel vessels, water pipes and tanks may change locally due to external or internal corrosion. For objects covered with a layer of insulating material, if the corrosion condition is to be d...
