<strong>Electromagnetic</strong> <strong>Testing</strong><br />

Eddy current testing is just one of a group of teclmiques that as a whole are<br />

defined as the electromagnetic testing method. The sub disciplines or<br />

teclmiques listed within the method continue to expand. Following are the<br />

techniques that fall under this method at the time of publication: Method:<br />

<strong>Electromagnetic</strong> <strong>Testing</strong> Techniques:<br />

• alternating current field measurement, ACFM<br />

• eddy current testing, ECT<br />

• flux leakage testing, MFLT<br />

• remote field testing, RFT<br />

The borders are sometimes a little gray between one process and another.<br />

These techniques have been grouped in this fashion more on the basis of<br />

their specific market area or specialized applications in the field testing<br />

envirorunent rather than on a purely scientific basis. <strong>Electromagnetic</strong>s is a<br />

very broad term. It covers a wide range of energy levels, sources and<br />

measurement tools.<br />
