  • Measuring a material property of an electrically conductive object
    Patent number: 6621265
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for measuring the value of a parameter relating to an electrically conductive object. Such a parameter can be the electric conductivity or the degree in which the material has changed under the influence of external conditions. Alternatively the parameter is the quality of a weld or the thickness of the object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 16, 2003
    Assignee: Shell Oil Company
    Inventors: Dirk Arie Kronemeijer, Petrus Johannes Van De Loo, Mark Theodoor Looijer, Ricky Eduardo Ricardo Meyer

  • Eddy current inspection technique
    Patent number: 6291992
    Abstract: A device is disclosed for inspecting an object of electrically conductive material, in which a non-static-signal transmitter generates an electromagnetic field in the object, and a receiver measures the variations of the eddy current generated by the non-static electromagnetic field and produces a signal representing the decay of the eddy current. The non-static-signal transmitter is provided with at least two laterally spaced-apart emitters for emitting an electromagnetic field, which emitters are, during normal operation, so driven that the resulting electromagnetic field in the central region between the emitters is intensified.
