Patent number: 5461312Abstract: The present invention relates to a flaw detector for metal material for maintaining and managing pipelines using a remote field eddy current sensor. An AC signal having constant level and shifted by predetermined phase angle is added to signals received in receiving coils of the remote field eddy current sensor to obtain accurate phase detection in a normal, nonflawed portion of the pipeline to be tested (e.g. uniform thickness, no holes, etc.). By preventing generation of abnormal flaw data, precise diagnosis of the pipeline can be performed. An AGC circuit may be used to maintain at a constant level of received signal. Two sets of spaced apart receiving coils are spaced from an exciting coil a distance greater than a predetermined distance (about two times the pipeline diameter). The set of receiving coils closest to the exciting coil has a greater number of coil turns than the other set.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1994Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignees: Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., CXR Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuharu Hosohara, Kiwamu Suzuki, Shigeru Fujiwara, Toshihide Kawabe
