基于脉冲远场涡流的管道内检测技术

Ferromagnetic Tubes Testing Based Pulsed Remote Field Eddy Current Technique

针对传统远场涡流检测方法对铁磁性管道内外壁缺陷灵敏度相同,无法有效区分缺陷在管道内壁还是管道外表面的问题,提出了采用具有丰富频率成分的脉冲激励信号取代传统的远场涡流中正弦信号激励的方法。采用小波去噪方法滤除检测数据中的信号噪声;研究了将检测线圈分别置于近场区、过渡区和远场区时的信号时域特性与管壁伤的关系;进行了针对管道管壁内外相同宽度不同深度缺陷的检测试验,结果表明采用脉冲激励作为激励源并综合运用过渡区的检测信号的幅值和过零时间特征能够有效地区分管壁内外全周向的缺陷。

In view of the traditional remote field eddy current technique for ferromagnetic tube having the same sensitivity of inner and outside walls defect, unable to distinguish the defects in the inner wall or in the outer surface, this paper adopt with abun- dant frequency components of the pulse signal to replace the traditional remote field eddy current sinusoidal excitation signal. Using the methods of wavelet denoising to filter acquired signal and process the data. This paper studied the relationship between the tube wall defects and signal time-domain characteristics when the detector coil was placed in the direct zone, transition zone and remote field zone. Conduct experiments to acquire data about different depth defects in the inside or outside of the walls, the results show that using the pulse signal as excitation source and characteristics about the detect signal amplitude and zero-crossing time can effectively distinguish between the inner and outer circumferential direction tube wall defects.
