5.2.1.1 Tube testing probes and their sensitivity<br />

The standard absolute internal probe for tube testing, commonly called a bobbin<br />

probe, consists of a short cylinder with a coil wound in a groove around its<br />

circumference (see FIG. 5.29a). Differential bobbin probes have two coils wound<br />

side by side (FIG. 5.29b). The tubes normally tested by this method generally<br />

have an outside diameter in the range approximately 12 mm to 30 mm, with wall<br />

thicknesses in the range approximately 0.7 mm to 3 mm. The probe diameter is<br />

matched to the internal diameter of the tube being tested, with a clearance of<br />

between approximately 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm on diameter, the larger clearance<br />

being for large diameter or damaged tubes.<br />
