ABSTRACT:
There is provided a transient electromagnetic method and apparatus for inspecting objects using moving sensors. The apparatus includes a sensing portion, which has a transmitting antenna and at least one receiving antenna thereon. The sensing portion is located adjacent to the object which is to be inspected such that the antennas are adjacent to the object. The sensing portion is moved along the object at the same time the transmitting antenna is inducing current in the wall and the receiving antenna is producing a received signal of the induced current diffusion in the wall. Because the antennas are moving during data acquisition, the speed of inspection is increased. The data is then interpreted to determine the thickness of the object.
