This standard adopts the following terms defined in GB/T12604.6. 3.1 Eddy current inspection method is a method of detecting whether there are defects in products by using the principle of electromagnetic induction to generate eddy currents on the surface and near the surface of conductive test pieces. 3.2 Encircling coil refers to the annular coil and components surrounding the outer wall of the test piece. 3.3 Exciting frequency refers to the fundamental frequency of the AC power supplied to the exciting coil in the detection coil. 3.4 Phase analysis method method phase analysis is an analytical method that identifies various variables in the test piece based on the different phase angles of the detection signal. 3.5 Modulation analysis method is an analysis method that uses the difference in modulation frequency of the modulation envelope on the carrier signal to identify various variables in the test piece. 3.6 Signal to noise ratio refers to the ratio of the amplitude of the defect signal at the output end of the eddy current flaw detector to the maximum noise amplitude. 3.7 Speed-sensitive instrument speed-sensitive instrument Instrument that produces a signal response to changes in the flaw detection speed. 3.8 Edge effect

3.9 Differential coil differential coil GB/T 5126—2001
Two or more coils are connected in reverse series, and the difference in adjacent areas on the test piece will cause the eddy current detection system to produce an unbalanced index coil. 3.10 Fill factor of the detection coil The ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the test piece to the cross-sectional area of ​​the coil. 3. 11 Difference of induced-potential The difference in induced voltage between the two output ends of the differential coil in the balanced state. 4 Principle
4.1 The basic principle of eddy current testing is electromagnetic induction. When an alternating magnetic field acts on a conductor, eddy currents are generated on the surface and near the surface of the conductor. The eddy current induced magnetic field reacts to the alternating excitation magnetic field, hindering its change. The degree and size of this hindering effect are related to the physical properties of the inspected pipe.
4.2 The eddy current test of pipes is to pass the inspected pipe through a coil with an alternating current, and use the principle that the impedance of the detection line changes with the change of pipe specifications, conductivity, and magnetic permeability. The detection instrument amplifies, converts, phase analyzes, modulates and analyzes the signal, and finally uses sound and light alarms to record, mark and sort the defective pipes. 5 General requirements

8.1 Before the eddy current inspection, the appearance size, surface and end quality of the pipe should be inspected. 8.2 The eddy current flaw detection instrument for pipes should be debugged and tested after preheating and stabilization. Class B
8.3 The detection frequency should be within the range of 1 to 125kHz. Select the appropriate excitation frequency to debug the detection sensitivity of the eddy current flaw detection instrument and equipment. 8.3.1 According to the specifications of the inspected pipe, select the appropriate detection coil. 8.3.2 Use d. Artificial through-hole to adjust the phase so that it provides the best signal-to-noise ratio on the recording curve for d. Artificial through-hole, that is, the ratio of the recording amplitude of da artificial through-hole to the recording amplitude of the noise signal is not less than 6dB. 8.3.3 Adjust the appropriate sensitivity level so that it provides a clearly recognizable indication with a certain amplitude for d artificial through-hole on the recording curve, and all three db artificial through-holes are displayed (alarm), three d.

The eddy current flaw detection instrument and equipment are in the waiting-for-inspection operation state with this sensitivity calibration, and then the eddy current inspection can be carried out on each pipe. 8.3.4 At the end of each continuous inspection for 2 hours and at the end of the inspection, the sensitivity of the eddy current inspection should be calibrated according to 8.3.2 and 8.3.3. If the change in the sensitivity data is found to be greater than ±2dB, the pipes inspected after the last sensitivity calibration should be re-inspected. 8.4 The transmission speed of the equipment should meet the requirements of the comprehensive performance indicators of the eddy current detection system.
