Questions about Truck-Mounted Portable EMI Machine Assembly

What are the key components of the portable EMI machine assembly?

The key components include the portable EMI machine, scanning tunnel, excitation coil, output port, and mechanical turntable.

How does the scanning tunnel induce eddy currents in the tubular structures?

The excitation coil within the scanning tunnel generates a magnetic field that induces eddy currents in the surface of the tubular passing through it.


Original Abstract Submitted

A truck mounted portable electromagnetic inspection (EMI) machine assembly is disclosed. The truck mounted portable EMI assembly includes a portable EMI machine having an input port coupled to a scanning tunnel and adapted to receive a tubular for passing through the scanning tunnel, the scanning tunnel comprising an excitation coil configured to induce an eddy current in a surface of the tubular passing through the scanning tunnel, and an output port coupled to the scanning tunnel and adapted to allow the tubular to exit from the scanning tunnel, and a mechanical turntable adapted to mount the portable EMI machine on a truck and adjust an orientation of the portable EMI machine with respect to the truck. The mechanical turntable includes an upper base and a lower base coupled together.
