MFL+TFI Inspection Tool
The MFL+TFl tool is composed of an axial excitation detection section and a circumferential excitation detectiorsection. Circumferential excitation detection magnetic field is distributed along the circumferential direction of the pipe wall, which can detect axial defect signals, and has strong detection ability for axial grooves. Axiaexcitation detection and circumferential excitation detection complement each other to realizeomni-directional detection.
