ABSTRACT:
Eddy current testing is performed at known locations on a metal object having recurring features to provide a data string that is applied to a signal processor that determines a template for one feature and conducts a correlation operation with the template and the data string to create a second string with peaks that periodically appear between two locations. The average width between those two locations is determined. The average value for each location in the second data string along the average distance between peaks is computed. The actual value of the second string at each location is combined with the average computed value to produce a deviation value that shows faults without a superimposed average geometry value. The location of the fault is indicated in response to the deviation signal.
