Inspection Method for Thinning of Metal Pipes using Electromagnetic Wave Polarization Characteristics

Serious defects in metal piping systems used in factories, power stations, and similar facilities can cause serious accidents. Regular inspections for metal pipework are therefore important. However, all conventional non-destructive inspection (NDI) methods are often time-consuming and inconvenient. To address this issue, we propose a simpler and more innovative inspection technique based on electromagnetic waves.
