Eddy current weld testing is the use of eddy current technology to test the welded pipe, this type of testing is based on the premise of lossless. At the same time, we need to be clear that the welded pipe is, in general, the steel pipe that we usually say, which is a welded steel pipe.

Eddy current weld testing is a non-destructive testing technique for detecting component defects by using the principle that the eddy current induced by the AC electromagnetic coil on the surface of the metal member encounters a defect. The oscillating current is generated in the conductive member by the excitation coil by the principle of electromagnetic induction, and the amount of change in the eddy current is measured by the detecting coil, thereby obtaining information on the component defect.
