Abstract: A wire rope inspection device (100) includes a controller 21 configured or programmed to detect a state of a wire rope (W) based on a difference at substantially a same position between a first detection signal acquired by a differential coil (10) in a first measurement and a second detection signal acquired by the differential coil in a second measurement after the first measurement.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system and method for detecting and remediating selective seam weld corrosion in conduits such as steel pipes that transport oil and gas products. In particular, a probe detects magnetic flux leakage in at least two orientations. Anomalies in the conduit are then identified and assessed for selective seam weld corrosion based on factors that include the magnetic flux leakage detection and the depth of the anomalies. For certain categories of assessed anomalies, the corresponding portions of the conduit are selectively remediated in accordance with these factors.

Abstract: Embodiments of an inline inspection (“ILP”) tool (10) of this disclosure include a plurality of composite field systems (20) arranged circumferentially about the body of the IL1 tool, each composite field system including multiple magnetic circuits (60) to produce a composite or resultant angled field © relative to the target, along with a sensor array or circuit (40) configured for magnetic flux leakage (“MFL”) or magnetostrictive electro-magnetic acoustic transducers (“EMAT”) implementations. In embodiments, the pole magnets (61) of the magnetic circuits are oriented in the axial direction of the tool body rather than in the direction of the resultant angled field. The same is true of the sensors (43). This composite field system approach provides options to design geometries that were not previously possible in prior art single-circuit helical MFL designs and EMAT designs.

Abstract: A device for checking bent tubes by means of a probe, such as a pneumatically propelled eddy-current probe. The device comprises a sealing-tight enclosure adapted to communicate with the tube to be checked via a connecting tube. The introduction pressure of the probe is produced by a pneumatic circuit. The probe comprises a checking head and a cable having floaters and is wound on a coil driven by a torque motor. The introduction speed of the probe is controlled by passing it over a drive pulley, to which it is permanently applied by a strap tensioned by a spring, the pulley being mounted on the shaft of a constant-speed motor. Application to the checking of the tubes of heat exchangers, condensers and steam generators, more particularly of nuclear reacters.

Abstract: A probe 100 includes exciter units 102 arranged in an array and detector units 104 and 106, also arranged in arrays, with the arrays positioned proximal to and in the shape of the exterior circumference of an individual boiler tube 108. The detector units 104 are “absolute” coil detectors which are used to detect and quantify general wall loss, for example, resulting from steam impingement erosion. The detectors 106 are differential, axial pairs which are used for detecting pits in the boiler tubers. The exciter units and detector units are mounted in a stainless steel housing 110 of the probe. The housing 110 is shaped to closely match the contour of the boiler tube 108. The probe can be moved along the boiler tubes by hand to inspect the flame side of boiler tubes, one at a time. Wheels 112 are provided to roll the probe along the boiler tubes.
