Remote Field Zone<br />

The remote field zone is the region in which direct coupling between the exciter coil and the receiver coil(s) is<br />

negligible. Coupling takes place indirectly through the generation of eddy currents and their resulting magnetic<br />

field. The remote field zone starts to occur at approximately two tube diameters away from the exciter coil. The<br />

amplitude of the field strength on the OD actually exceeds that of the ID after an axial distance of approximately<br />

1.65 tube diameters. Therefore, RFT is sensitive to changes in material that occur at the outside diameter as<br />

well as the inside diameter of the tube.<br />
