摘要
Magnetic flux-leakage (MFL) measurement is the most widely used non-destructive technique for in-service inspection of oil and gas pipelines. The effect of line-pressure-induced hoop stress on MFL signals has been studied for an electrochemically milled pit (50% penetration) in a 9 mm thick steel pipe wail. The existing theoretical models for flux-leakage signals are discussed. Among them the Zatsepin-Shcherbinin and Edwards-Palmer models have been fitted to the axial and radial MFL signals. Both the leakage-flux components under various stresses are scaled to make them stress independent.
