This paper propose a advanced technique for exciting and receiving the guided torsional wave to detect flaws in pipe systems. There are some difficulties in selecting and exciting of modes by using the nickel strip attached on pipe systems, such as qualification of residual magnetic field and multi-exciting of the unwanted modes etc. In order to there difficulties we propose the new sensor, so called Crossed-coils sensor. We will prove that it is possible to select the modes to be excited and to find a optimal excitation condition for torsional mode by using the proposed sensor.

A plus-point eddy current test(ECT) probe was developed to examine the defects on the welds of pumps, valves, and pipings which are the major components of the electric power plants, non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for detecting and sizing the flaws were studied adapting this probe. Differential plus-point ECT probe is consists of two "I"-type coils crossed each other and has an advantage having a small influence on the sensitivity by lift-off variation to the conventional types of probe. The specimens with crack-like electro discharge machining(EDM) notches on the weld of type 304 stainless-steel were fabricated in order to evaluate the plus-point ECT probe response to the flaws. NDE techniques to detect and size the flaws and estimate the flaw type were established with this specimens.
