자기누설탐상법은 비파피검사 방법의 하나로 대상물체를 외부에서 착자시켜 함이 발생할 경우에 결함부위에서 자기누설이 발생하도록 하여, 누설된 자기장을 측정하여 결함의 유무와 크기 등을 판정하는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 MFL 방식의 범용 NDT 검사기의 개발을 위해 영구자석을 이용하여 소형 비파괴 검사기를 설계하고, 3차원 유한요소법을 이용하여 해석하고 실제 데이터를 측정하여 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다.

From among the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) methods, the MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) PIG (Pipeline Inspection Gauge) is especially suitable for testing pipelines because the pipeline has high magnetic permeability. MFL PIG showed high performance in detecting the metal loss and corrosions. However, MFL PIG is difficult to detect the crack which occured by exterior-interior pressure difference in pipelines and the shape of crack is very long and narrow. Therefore, the new PIG is needed to be researched and developed for detecting the cracks. The CMFL (Circumferential MF) PIG performs magnetic fields circumferentially and can maximize the magnetic flux leakage at the cracks. In this paper, CMFL PIG is designed and the distribution of the magnetic fields is analyzed by using 3 dimensional nonlinear finite element method (FEM). By Simulating and Measuring the magnetic leakage field, it is possible to detect of axial cracks in the pipeline.

This paper describes the magnetic flux leakage(MFL) type non-destructive testing(NDT) system to detect the 3D defects in underground gas pipe. Magnetic systems with permanent magnets and yokes are analyzed by 3D non-lineal finite element method(FEM) with optimum design. In case of under-saturation of gas pipe, sensing signals are too weak to detect. In case of over-saturation, the changes of the sensing signals are too low to detect the defects sensitively. So, the operating points of the magnetic system are optimized to increase the changes of the MFL signals. The effects of the depth and size of the defects on the sensing signals are analyzed to define the range and resolution of the MFL sensors. To increase the sensor's sensitivity, the back-yoke sensors are introduced and tested.

In this research, MFL technique has been studied for the inspection of storage tank floor. The reference specimens having 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% slot's are fabricated using the carbon steel plates of a 6mm and 10mm thick. Powerful permanent magnets and Hall effect sensors are used to this application. It is shown that our system is able to detect metal loss like a slot. Also, it is possible that slot diameter is measured using transverse type of Hall generator. It is demonstrated that MFL can not differentiate between the response from top side and bottom side slot. Flux leakage response from a bottom side indication is significantly lower in amplitude than that from an equivalent top side slot. It is essential to know this sensor lift-off distance because the MFL signal also changes considerably with the sensor lift-off distance.

In this study, the leak detection technique of pressure vessel by using acoustic emission(AE) signal is suggested experimentally. The leak of pressure vessel is located at the welding line due to welding defects. we measured the AE signal using Rl5I sensor, and examined the AE parameters in leak condition. It is investigated that the mean value of AE signal is dependent on leak source location. So the absolute mean value of AE signal is adopted as dominant AE parameter. We proposed leak detection algorithm using AE signal mean value for monitoring the leak source location.

자기누설탐상시스템은 지하에 매설된 가스관에서 발생되는 부식이나 크랙 또는 기계적 변형을 탐지하기 위한 방법으로 비파괴검사 방법의 하나이다. 가스관은 Nd자석에 의해 착자가 되고, 가스관에 부식이 발생했을 경우 가스관의 단면적이 작아지게 되어 자기누설이 발생하며, 발생된 자기누설을 홀센서로 검출하여 부식의 유무, 크기, 모양 등을 판별하게 된다. 지하매설 배관은 배관의 직경은 같으나 배관의 두께는 다양하게 존재한다. 특히 30inch의 배관에는 배관의 두께가 11.1, 14.3, 17.5 mm 등이 있다. 자기누설탐상시스템은 배관의 단면적 변화를 감지하는 것이기 때문에 배관의 두께에 따라 그 특성이 변화하게 된다. 또한 두께에 따른 결함의 종류에 따라서 검출신호도 변화하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배관의 두께 변화에 따른 검출신호를 분석하였으며, 두께 변화의 영향을 적용하여 검출신호를 보정하기 위한 방법을 제시하였다.

It is necessary to measure the direct current with a non-contact methodology for the liquid or gas phase, as welt as the conducting metals. This paper described a theoretical consideration and experimental verification for a non-contact quantitative direct current measurement system using the Faraday effect and magnetic flux leakage. The leakage of magnetic flux occurs around a gap when a ferromagnetic core including the discontinuous gap is magnetized. Two large anisotropic domains in a magneto-optical film are occurred by the vertical component of leaked magnetic flux and the domain walls are paralleled to the center of the gap. Here, the symmetrical arrangement of domains are deflected when a vertical magnetic field is applied to the magneto-optical film. The domain wall of the magneto-optical film are relocated when a measuring current passes through the ferromagnetic core. Therefore, a direct current passing through the core can be determined quantitatively by the measurement of moving distance of the domain wall.
