Abstract

1,070,859. Determining linear dimensions of electrically conductive wires or tubes. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N. V. March 31, 1965 [April 2, 1964], No. 13677/65. Heading G1N. The change in the diameter of a metal wire or the wall thickness of a tube (e.g. due to corrosion by gasoline) is determined by inducing eddy currents in the metal using an apparatus comprising a bridge circuit (Fig. 1) one arm of which includes a solenoid 3, through which the wire or tube 4 is passed by guide rollers 5, and forming with a capacitor 6 a tuned circuit which is resonant at the input frequency (e. g. 10<SP>5</SP>-10<SP>8</SP> c.p. s.). Another arm includes a reference impedance L7, R8, C9 which is also tuned to the input frequency. Decreases in diameter of 0À5 microns can be detected, the unbalanced bridge output voltage produced by the change in dimension providing a measure thereof which may be recorded as a function of time in a recorder 12. The reference impedance may also include a solenoid within which a reference wire or tube is placed. If the wire or tube is ferromagnetic a permanent magnet may be fitted inside the solenoid to magnetically saturate any ferromagnetic material in the vicinity thereof, so that magnetic effects due to the wire on the impedance of the solenoid will be eliminated. The apparatus may comprise a number of solenoids mounted on the circumference of a rotatable disc (not shown) for testing wires of different diameters a solenoid bore being preferably at the most twice the diameter of a wire. Rotation of the disc to a selected position may also switch on a power source of having a frequency appropriate to the metal under test. Circuit diagrams Figs. 3a, 3b, 3c (not shown) of the high frequency generators and measuring bridge together with component values, are given. The bridge arms may have rectifiers 13, 14 whereby the bridge output will be a direct voltage independent of any phase difference between the currents in the two bridge arms.
