Pulsed Eddy Currents Systems<br />

Pulsed Eddy Currents offer great potential for corrosion detection and location in thick structures. The wide<br />

band frequency spectrum of Pulsed Eddy Currents allows the determination of a large number of parameters,<br />

such as defect size and location. In fact, Pulsed Eddy Current techniques have the potential to become the<br />

primary method of corrosion detection in multi-layered structures.<br />

Our research concerning Pulsed Eddy Current technologies concentrates on the detection of corrosion and<br />

measurement of wall thickness of insulated pipelines. In order to optimize inspection productivity and costs, it is<br />

imperative to improve the quality of inspection and corrosion data interpretation. Our research efforts therefore<br />

revolve around the interpretation of corrosion data and the integration of Pulsed Eddy Current techniques to<br />

commercial inspection systems.<br />
