ABSTRACT:
Flaws in an electrically conductive sample object are detected by cancelling the magnetic field generated by a detection current passed through the sample object by passing the current back through an unflawed field cancelling object placed next to the sample object, and measuring the uncancelled field produced by any flaw, preferably with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. Elongated objects such as tubes and rods are fed through a sleeve which forms the field cancelling object, with the current applied to the elongated member and passed to the field cancelling sleeve through sliding contacts.
