The technique in its simplest form uses a handheld probe containing a<br />

uniform field induction system and two magnetic field sensors. The<br />

induced alternating current is generated in a limited region of the test<br />

specimen where the alternating electric current AC is considered to be lineal:<br />

In this region a magnetic field is produced which is also linear. Any<br />

disturbances in this region produced by surface discontinuities will affect the<br />

components of this linear magnetic field. Two or more air wound coils<br />

mounted with orthogonal axes within a probe will detect these disturbances.<br />

This is the foundation of altemating current field measurement which is<br />

different from eddy current testing.<br />
