Case Study: Surface Defect Analysis of Copper Tubing

From Resonic NDT Systems

Tests were conducted on Copper tubing of various diameters and wall thickness. These samples were tested in standard resonance mode EMAT's (electromagnetic acoustic transducers) configured for aluminum and steel rod. A rotary encoder input was utilized to generate the data plots of resonant frequency versus distance this data was recorded on the ARIS lab unit.
