Leakage field sensors are mounted between the pole pieces of the magnet in<br />

a circle around the axis of the device to provide, as nearly as possible, full<br />

coverage of the pipe wall. In most such tools, the sensors are the inductive<br />

coil type, oriented to measure the axial component of the leakage field<br />

gradient. Data are usually recorded on magnetic tape as the system is<br />

propelled down a section of pipe. After the inspection, the recorded signals<br />

are compared with those from calibration standards in an attempt to interpret<br />

flaw indications in terms of flaw type and size.<br />
