(c) Edge effect<br />

Probes dedicated to conductivity testing are manufactured so that there is no<br />

edge effect if the area being tested is equal to or larger than the probe area<br />

and the probe is centered on this area. That is, if the edge (or hole) lies<br />

outside the area covered by the probe, there should be no edge effect. This<br />

should be verified by taking readings on a sample as the probe approaches<br />

an edge. If a smaller area is required to be tested, a smaller conductivity<br />

testing probe must be used, if available, or comparative testing with a<br />

standard eddy current instrument and a small diameter or shielded probe to<br />

determine the lift-off signal and compare it with those from known test<br />

samples must be used.<br />
