Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reliably detect even a small surface scratch by providing N rows of probes being connected in the direction of a pipe axis in a circumferential direction and providing the position in the direction of pipe axis of the probes while shifting them by one-Nth pitch of the connected pitches. SOLUTION: In a non-destructive inspection device 1 of a pipe, a plurality of probes with a thin diameter being connected in the direction of a pipe axis are provided at a rotary annular body that is fitted with a gap of approximately 0.3 mm to the outer periphery of a pipe 10 on the outer periphery of the pipe 10 via a hard metal or ceramic shoe at the outer periphery. A high-frequency coil winding for feeding a high-frequency current of approximately 8 kHz is wound around a ferrite core with a diameter of approximately 2 mm ϕ in the probes, and the probes are connected in the direction of a pipe axis including covering at a pitch of approximately 4 mm. For example, four rows of probes 3a-3d are mounted while being shifted in the direction of the pipe axis by 1/4 pitch each, thus connecting the probes with a pitch of 1 mm as a whole and greatly improving the length of a scratch to be detected.

2. Description of the Related Art An apparatus for non-destructively inspecting a defect of a seamless steel pipe or the like is provided with a plurality of thin ring-shaped bodies continuously fitted in a pipe axis direction on a rotating ring-shaped body which is externally fitted with a gap of about 0.3 mm on the outer circumference of the pipe. A probe having a diameter is arranged and attached such that the longitudinal direction of the probe is perpendicular to the tube axis. The rotating ring-shaped body is rotated at a rotation speed of about 1000 rotations per minute, and the tube is passed through the tube in the axial direction to inspect the surface of the tube for flaws. This small-diameter probe is a probe in which a high-frequency winding is wound around a ferrite core having a diameter of about 2 mmφ, and has a diameter of about 4 mmφ including the coating, and is densely arranged parallel to the tube axis at a pitch of 4 mm. Conventionally, such a probe has a pitch of about 10 mm. However, in order to detect a small flaw, a probe with a small diameter has been developed and improved in order to make the pitch of the probe as small as possible. However, it has reached a difficult limit to further reduce the arrangement pitch of the probes. And diameter 4mmφ
With the probe of the above, the limit of detecting a flaw up to an axial length of about 8 mm was a limit, and a flaw shorter than this could not be reliably detected.
