Analysis of high temperature pipe integrity using customized eddy-current system

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This work presents the development and experimental validation of eddy current probes for high temperature (300 ºC ~ 500 ºC) pipe inspections. The modules (probes and chassis) were customized to operate as part of an automated scanner system and to be adapted to steel pipes geometries and to operation temperature levels. The project includes a refrigeration system and uses thermal isolation materials to stablish an adequate operation environment to the temperature sensible probe components. The experimental results have shown the detection of artificial standard defects with rectangular and circular geometries even through high probe lift-offs, as seen in probe numerical simulation comparison. The module operation in the high temperature range (340 ºC) also was validated.
