With flux leakage testing, signal-to-noise ratio is affected by surface noise<br />

(the sensor bouncing along the surface) and probe lift-off variations. Lift-off<br />

decreases the amplitude of the flux signal and changes its frequency(?).<br />

Springloaded probes can help minimize these effects.Too high a rotational<br />

test speed or too high a rotating probe head speed can also cause a loss of<br />

test indication by eddy current shielding. Eddy current shielding refers to the<br />

formation of direct current flow caused by the rapidly occurring flux changes<br />

in the part that is created by the rotation of the magnetic field. In flux leakage<br />

testing, the maximum permissible test probe or tube speed is about 300 fpm<br />

or 5 fps.<br />
