<strong>Electromagnetic</strong> <strong>Testing</strong> That non destructive test method for engineering<br />

materials, including magnetic materials, which use electromagnetic energy<br />

having frequencies less than those of visible light to yield information regarding<br />

the quality of the tested material.<br />

End Effect Signal obtained when an internal or encircling probe approaches the<br />

end of a tube or rod (similar to edge effect).<br />

Encircling probe (Coil) Also referred to as a feed through coil. A probe which<br />

completely surrounds test material; can be absolute or differential.<br />

Feed Through Coil see encircling probe.<br />

Ferrite Ferromagnetic oxide material. Used for cores in high frequency<br />

transformers.<br />

Flaw A defect.<br />

Ferromagnetic A material with a relative magnetic permeability greater than 1.0<br />

Fill Factor η (eta), dimensionless. The ratio of the square of the diameter of a<br />

cylindrical test specimen to the square of the average diameter of the encircling<br />

coil. It is a measure of coupling between the coil and test object. Fraction of the<br />

test coil area filled by the test specimen.<br />
