DEFECTOMETER M 1.837 Mobile crack measurement
The eddy current principle
When an alternating current flows in a coil the magnetic field of the coil induces circulating eddy currents in close proximity to a conducting surface. Any defects or irregularities in the grain structure will effect the loading on the coil and thus its impedance. By monitoring the voltage across the coil defects like cracks are detected in the material of interest.
Applications
Testing for surface cracks on turbine blades, on wheels, on wings around rivets etc. at aircrafts Testing of surface cracks on bridges Testing of surface cracks on gas pipelines The flaw resolution is approximately 20 m Simple sorting tasks, identification of hardness changes and detection of surface cracks on automotive components Detection and evaluation of surface cracks on semi-finished products
