Array for non-destructive material testing of cylindrical workpieces by means of electrodynamic ultrasonic measurement
First Claim
1. An array for non-destructive testing of cylindrical workpieces such as pipes or ends of pipes by means of at least electrodynamic ultrasonic excitation, comprising:
- at least one magnet having pole shoes; and
at least one supporting means for supporting and guiding the workpieces;
said pole shoes being rotatable around axes parallel to a longitudinal axis of one of the workpieces being guided by said supporting means, said pole shoes being provided with at least one electrodynamic transducer resting on said one of said workpieces in a contact area, said supporting means comprising rollers, said rollers being rotatable about axes which coincides with axes of rotation of said pole shoes, said one of said workpieces being supported on each roller in a linear area of lower circumferential surface of said one of the workpieces, and said linear area, offset in a longitudinal direction of said one of the workpieces, corresponding to said contact area of said electrodynamic transducer.

Abstract
An array for non-destructive material testing of cylindrical workpieces such as pipes or ends thereof by means of leakage-flux measurement and if necessary electrodynamic ultrasonic excitation is proposed. A leakage-flux measuring head (56) used for leakage-flux measurement comprises at least two Hall probes (80) disposed along a line parallel and/or vertical to the magnetic field generated by a magnet (10) and forming at least one Hall probe line. In addition, the leakage-flux measuring head has at least two sliding blocks (94, 96, 98, 100) spaced apart and supportable on the workpiece, between which the Hall probes are disposed. The leakage-flux measuring head is also provided with a protective plate covering the faces of the Hall probes on the workpiece side.
