The defects of FRP pipelines would increase with the extension of service time. However, it is very difficult to detect the defects of FRP pipelines on-spot quickly. In this paper, a new method detecting defects for FRP pipes has been provided based on the NMR. The proton density distributions have been obtained at different depth of FRP components using single-side NMR. The experimental results show that there is a significant change of proton density distribution at the location of defects. And, these results would be useful for defects inspection of composite material component.展开更多
