Remote-Field Testing (RFT)

Remote-field testing (RFT) is a non-destructive electromagnetic testing technique mainly used to find defects in steel pipes and tubes.

Details

How it Works
RFT Technology — Dual Driver Probe
Partager
RFT probes use one or several transmitter coils positioned two
tube diameters apart from the receiver coil. The magnetic
field created by the transmitter coil travels through and out of
the tube wall, radially and axially, towards the receiver. The
magnetic field must travel through the tube wall again to
reach the receiver. This is called through-transmission and is
what defines RFT. Through-transmission allows external and
internal defects to be detected with equal sensitivity.

Two coupling paths exist between the transmitters and

receivers. The direct path, inside the tube, is rapidly Regarder sur
attenuated by circumferential eddy currents induced in the
tube’s wall. The indirect coupling path originates in the
transmitter’s magnetic field that diffuses radially outward
through the wall. At the outer wall, the field spreads rapidly
along the tube with little attenuation and re-diffuse back
through the pipe wall and are the dominant field inside the
tube at the receiver. Anomalies anywhere in the indirect path
cause changes in the magnitude and phase of the received
signal, and can therefore be used to detect defects.

Benefits

RFT has several benefits over other electromagnetic testing techniques:

Suitable for ferromagnetic materials

Equal sensitivity at the inner and outer surfaces
Highly sensitive to wall thickness variations
Can be used with lesser fill factors than ECT
