24、 is measured about the nominal point.3.4 Acronyms:3.4.1 RFT, nremote field testing4. Summary of Practice4.1 The RFT data is collected by passing a probe througheach tube. The electromagnetic field transmitted from theexciter to the detector is affected by discontinuities; by thedimensions and electr

25、omagnetic properties of the tube; and byobjects in and around the tube that are ferromagnetic orconductive. System sensitivity is verified using the RFT systemreference standard. System sensitivity and settings are checkedand recorded prior to and at regular intervals during theexamination. Data and

26、 system settings are recorded in amanner that allows archiving and later recall of all data andsystem settings for each tube. Interpretation and evaluation arecarried out using one or more flaw characterization standards.The supplier generates a final report detailing the results of theexamination.5

27、. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of RFT is to evaluate the condition of thetubing. The evaluation results may be used to assess thelikelihood of tube failure during service, a task which is notcovered by this practice.5.2 Principle of Probe OperationIn a basic RFT probe,the electromagnetic fiel

28、d emitted by an exciter travels outwardsthrough the tube wall, axially along the outside of tube, andback through the tube wall to a detector7(Fig. 2a).5.2.1 Flaw indications are created when (1) in thin-walledareas, the field arrives at the detector with less attenuation andless time delay, (2) dis

29、continuities interrupt the lines ofmagnetic flux, which are aligned mainly axially, or (3) discon-tinuities interrupt the eddy currents, which flow mainly cir-cumferentially. A discontinuity at any point on the through-transmission path can create a perturbation; thus RFT hasapproximately equal sens

30、itivity to flaws on the inner and outerwalls of the tube.75.3 Warning Against Errors in Interpretation. Characteriz-ing flaws by RFT may involve measuring changes from7Schmidt, T. R., “The Remote Field Eddy Current Inspection Technique,”Materials Evaluation, Vol. 42, No. 2, Feb. 1984, pp. 225-230.NO

31、TE 1Arrows indicate flow of electromagnetic energy from exciter to detector. Energy flow is perpendicular to lines of magnetic flux.FIG. 2 RFT ProbesE2096/E2096M 163nominal (or baseline), especially for absolute coil data. Thechoice of a nominal value is important and often requiresjudgment. Practit

32、ioners should exercise care to use for nominalreference a section of tube that is free of damage (see definitionof “nominal tube” in 3.2.3). In particular, bends used asnominal reference must be free of damage, and tube supportplates used as nominal reference should be free of metal loss inthe plate

33、 and in adjacent tube material. If necessary, a comple-mentary technique (as described in 11.12) may be used toverify the condition of areas used as nominal reference.5.4 Probe ConfigurationThe detector is typically placedtwo to three tube diameters from the exciter, in a locationwhere the remote fi

34、eld dominates the direct-coupling field.7Other probe configurations or designs may be used to optimizeflaw detection, as described in 9.3.5.5 Comparison with Conventional Eddy-Current TestingConventional eddy-current test coils are typically configured tosense the field from the tube wall in the imm

Interferences8.1 This section describes items and conditions which maycompromise RFT.8.2 Material Properties:8.2.1 Variations in the material properties of ferromagnetictube

45、s are a potential source of inaccuracy. Impurities,segregation, manufacturing process, grain size, stress history,present stress patterns, temperature history, presenttemperature, magnetic history, and other factors will affect theelectromagnetic response measured during RFT. The conduc-tivity and p

46、ermeability of tubes with the same grade of materialare often measurably different. It is common to find that someof the tubes to be examined are newer tubes with differentmaterial properties.8.2.2 Permeability variations may occur at locations wherethere was uneven temperature or stress during tube

47、manufacture, near welds, at bends, where there were unevenheat transfer conditions during service, at areas where there iscold working (such as that created by an integral finningprocess), and in other locations. Indications from permeabilityvariations may be mistaken for, or obscure flaw indication

48、s.Effects may be less severe in tubes that were stress-relievedduring manufacture.8.2.3 Residual stress, with accompanying permeabilityvariations, may be present when discontinuities are machinedinto a reference standard, or during the integral finning process.8.2.4 RFT is affected by residual magne

49、tism in the tubing,including residual magnetism created during a previous exami-nation using another magnetic method. Tubes with significantresidual magnetism should be demagnetized prior to RFT.8.3 Ferromagnetic and Conductive Objects:E2096/E2096M 1648.3.1 Objects near the tube that are ferromagnetic or con-ductive may reduce the sensitivity and accuracy of flawcharacterization in their immediate vicinity. Such objects mayin some cases be mistaken for flaws. Knowledge of themechanical layout of the component to be examined is recom-mended. Exam
