Copper and copper alloys - Eddy current testing on the outer surface of rods, bars, hollow rods and wires for the detection of defects by encircling test coil

Scope

This document specifies a procedure for fully automatic eddy current testing with no operator involvement with an encircling test coil for detecting defects on the surface of copper and copper alloy rods, bars, hollow rods and wires with a minimum diameter or width across flats defined in the relevant product standards.

This test method can be continuous or discontinuous depending on the product. The product size range and test acceptance level are defined in the relevant product standards.
