UN METODO PARA DETERMINAR ELECTROMAGNETICAMENTE EL ESPESOR DE UNA TUBERIA FERROMAGNETICA.

摘要

An electromagnetic thickness tool is disclosed to produce a measurement of the wall-thickness of a ferromagnetic casing corrected for the effects of casing permeability. First apparatus provides an uncorrected thickness signal proportional to the thickness of the casing uncorrected for the effects of casing permeability. A second apparatus provides a permeability signal representative of the permeability of the casing. A signal processor uses the mathematical square root of the permeability signal as a correction factor for the uncorrected thickness signal for generating the corrected value. The second apparatus, responsive to a signal proportional to the magnitude of the inside diameter of the casing, corrects the permeability signal for the effects of casing inside diameter.
