Magnetic metals inthe insulation such as zalvanised steel chicken wire and fasteners that are free fo move may have @ large influence (€10%) on the PEC wall thickness readings. This will bbe apparent fom the A-scan and fiom repeat Hlectromagnetic interference Electromagnetic interference e.g, due to electrical motors or power supply cables in the vicinity of the equipment may distort the PEC signals. The signals are acceptable if the transition point is visible after the filtering, The degree of the distortion is tested at the reference position in the stability test.

Chicken wire is manufactured of thin, flexible galvanized steel wire, or stainless steel with hexagonal gaps. Available in 1 inch (about 2.5 cm) diameter, chicken wire is available in various wire gauges usually 19 gauge (about 1 mm wire) ta 22 gauge (about 0.7 mm wire). In the insulation industry, chicken wire is mainly used as a matrix for holding insulation cements and mastics in place. 5 2.Ga, 24"x 150’ Stainless Steel 1” Hex Mesh 18 Lbs/Roll 22 Ga. 48"x 150’ Stainless Steel 1” Hex Mesh ~ 36 Lbs/Roll Cini neeees 20 Ga. 24"x 150’ Galvanized Steel "Hex Mesh - 23 Lbs/Roll 20 Ga. 48"x 150’ Galvanized Steel "Hex Mesh ~ 46 Lbs/Roll Subjectto price change and availaily.
