Note that this is similar to surface testing except that, for tubes, the tube<br />

diameter is the relevant parameter, not the coil diameter as for surface testing.<br />

The reason for this is that it is actually the diameter of the eddy currents that is<br />

the significant parameter. For surface testing with standard probes, the<br />

strongest eddy currents flow immediately beneath the coil, so the diameter of<br />

the eddy currents is essentially the same as the coil diameter. For tubes, the<br />

eddy currents flow in the tube and so their diameter is essentially that of the<br />

tube.<br />
