Electromagnetic Inspection of Nuclear Plants - EINP

该项目旨在通过使用主要用于石油和天然气行业的交流磁场测量（ACFM）技术取代传统的磁颗粒和染料渗透检测，减少核工业中进行表面检测所需的化学品使用和时间。为了做到这一点，ACFM的灵敏度必须提高，以检测微裂纹，最好是在高温下工作。该项目研究了阵列传感器的小型化，以及在高达550°C的温度下工作的传感器

The project aimed to reduce the use of chemicals and amount of time required to carry out surface inspection in the nuclear industry by replacing conventional magnetic particle and dye penetrant inspection with a technique known as Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) mainly used in the oil and gas industry. In order to do this, the sensitivity of ACFM had to be improved to detect micro-cracking, preferably while operating at high temperatures.The project investigated miniaturisation of sensors in an array, and building sensors for operation at temperatures up to 550°C
