Technical Description
The invention relates to a continuous, non-destructive monitoring system that inspects high-temperature pipelines for flaws without requiring plant shutdowns or insulation removal. By utilizing special amorphous magnetostrictive ribbons to generate L(0,2)mode guided waves, the sensor maintains stable signal strength and eliminates the reliance on temperature-sensitive components.
