Design and optimization of eddy current sensor for instrumented pipeline inspection gauge
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce an in line non‐destructive inspection tool instrumented pipeline inspection gauge (IPIG) and the need for secondary sensors in it; and to design a proper configuration of eddy current based secondary sensor under given design constraints.
Design/methodology/approach
The objective is achieved by designing a simple configuration, testing it experimentally and modifying it as per requirements.
Findings
An optimized configuration is arrived at under given set of constraints.
Originality/value
This paper presents a novel method to design an eddy current sensor, and especially addresses electromagnetic experts involved in coil based sensor designs.
