Abstract
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of monitoring system for pipe wall thinning　using electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT). The proposed EMAT system provides no contact, high resolution measurement, and remote capability of inspection procedures. First, a simulation based analysis is performed to study the measurement sensitivities with respect to pipe wall thinning. Secondly, taking into account that FAC damage is extended into the downstream of orifice, verification tests are implemented based on thickness measurements at grid points on the outer surface of pipe. Various type of test pipes with FAC damage model were provided for our laboratory experiments. Finally, the validity and the feasibility of our proposed method are demonstrated through the practical test at the real plant.
