Abstract | |||||
A recently developed nondestructive method, called Magnetic Adaptive Testing, which is based on systematic measurement and evaluation of minor magnetic hysteresis loops was applied for detection of local wall thinning in carbon steel, ferromagnetic T-shape tubes. Presently no effective inspection method is available for detection of wall thinning of a T-tube with reinforcing plate. It was shown that an artificially made slot can be reliable detected with good signal/noise ratio from the other side of the specimen even through the support plate. | |||||
