Figure 10: (a) Hall probe scan of the radial residual field leakage flux<br />

above a short previously magnetised piece of pipe with the simulated<br />

defects shown in (b). (c) The same, but with reduced scale, after<br />

a stress simulating the effects of line pressure has been applied.<br />

There are now clearer superimposed signals from the anomalously<br />

stressed regions due to pipewall thinning. These 'stress shadows'<br />

tend to preferentially enhance the signals from far side corrosion<br />

since their anomalous stresses are on the near side to the detector.
