【産業上の利用分野】本発明は、例えば鋼管内の金属残
留物検出方法に関するものである。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for detecting a metal residue in a steel pipe, for example.

のぞいて目視検査するのが一般的である。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, metal residues in a steel pipe, for example, internal bead chips of an electric resistance welded pipe are removed by an automatic removing device.
It is common to arrange a group of fluorescent lamps at the end of the tube and visually inspect the inside of the tube from the other end.

に不具合を検知する必要がある。However, when a metal residue in a long steel pipe is inspected visually, for example, the long steel pipe bends due to its own weight, making it difficult to perform inspection. In addition, since there is a possibility that a large amount of unremoved residue is generated due to a failure of the automatic metal residue removing device, it is necessary to detect the failure promptly in such a case.

留物を検出する方法が提案されている。As a method for solving the above problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H4-215046 discloses that an electromagnetic wave is radiated from the end of a steel pipe, and the electromagnetic wave is propagated by using the steel pipe as a circular waveguide to propagate the electromagnetic wave. There has been proposed a method of detecting the internal residue by receiving the signal at one end of the tube and measuring the frequency modulation and / or power attenuation of the electromagnetic wave.

接させる必要があるので、高速で処理できない。However, the method proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H4-215046 has the following problems. Since the equipment is large, a large installation space is required, and the installation place is limited. In addition, the equipment cost becomes high. Since electromagnetic waves are transmitted and received at both ends of the steel pipe,
If the length of the steel pipe varies, the detection accuracy fluctuates. Therefore, it is difficult to use a steel pipe having a variation in length. Since the devices associated with the transmitter and the receiver need to be close to both ends of the steel pipe, they cannot be processed at high speed.
【０００６】本発明の目的は、上記した問題点を解決

供することである。An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a method for detecting a metal residue in a metal tube which can detect a metal residue with high accuracy and in a short time by a compact device.

留物を検出するのである。In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first method of the present invention is to provide an eddy current detecting coil on the outer periphery of a metal tube and a magnetic field for applying a magnetic field around the eddy current detecting coil. With the coil facing, the metal tube is magnetically saturated, and a metal residue present in the metal tube is supplied with a current previously determined for each metal tube to the magnetic coil so that the metal residue is magnetized to a degree that does not cause magnetic saturation. A change in the voltage supplied to the eddy current detection coil is measured to detect a metal residue present in the metal tube.

The magnetic coil and the eddy current detection coil are installed at predetermined intervals previously determined for each metal tube so that the metal residue that is magnetically saturated and remains in the metal tube is magnetized to a degree that does not cause magnetic saturation. Then, a voltage change of a voltage supplied to the eddy current detection coil is measured to detect a metal residue existing in the metal tube.

In the eddy current method, after sufficiently magnetizing a steel pipe using a magnetic saturation device, a high-frequency AC voltage is supplied to the detection coil to generate a magnetic flux, to induce an eddy current, and the reaction of the eddy current to the detection coil. This is a method of detecting as a voltage change due to an impedance change.

に金属残留物が存在する状態を示す。It is well known that a ferromagnetic material such as a steel pipe is not magnetized in proportion to the strength of an external magnetic field, but exhibits unique magnetic characteristics depending on its material. When a current is supplied to the magnetic saturation coil, a magnetic field having a certain strength determined by the supplied current value and the number of turns of the coil is generated in the steel pipe. When a magnetic field is gradually applied to a non-magnetized steel pipe, the steel pipe is rapidly magnetized in the initial stage, and thereafter, the momentum of the magnetization is attenuated with the strength of the magnetic field to reach a magnetic saturation state. Incidentally, the relative permeability μ of a standard non-carbon steel pipe in a non-magnetized state is about 1,000. FIG. 2 shows a state where no metal residue is present in the steel pipe, and FIG. 3 shows a state where metal residue is present in the steel pipe.

管および金属残留物の比透磁率との関係を示す。[0011] Even when a magnetic field is applied to the steel pipe containing the metal residue, the steel pipe and the metal residue are magnetized. However, after the steel pipe is magnetized to some extent, the metal residue existing inside the steel pipe is magnetized, so that the strength of the magnetic field for magnetically saturating the steel pipe and the strength of the magnetic field for magnetically saturating the metal residue are different. FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the strength of the magnetic field (substituted by the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated at the center of the steel pipe) applied to the standard low carbon steel pipe and the relative permeability of the steel pipe and metal residues.

る。In a state in which the steel pipe is magnetically saturated and the metal residue is magnetized to such an extent that the metal residue is not magnetically saturated, the relative permeability of the steel pipe and the space is 1, and the relative permeability of the metal residue changes from 1000, For example, it is about 100. Therefore, in a state where only the steel pipe is magnetically saturated and in a state where the steel pipe is magnetically saturated and the metal residue is magnetized to such an extent that the metal residue is not magnetically saturated,
The impedance of the detection coil greatly changes due to the relative magnetic permeability of the metal residue, and a voltage change occurs in the detection coil.

電圧変化が生じない。However, when both the steel pipe and the metal residue are magnetically saturated, the relative permeability of the steel pipe and the metal residue approaches 1, which is equal to a state where no metal residue exists in the steel pipe, and the impedance of the detection coil is increased. Does not change, no voltage change occurs in the detection coil. Further, when the steel pipe is not magnetically saturated, the magnetism generated in the steel pipe does not reach the metal residue. In this case, since the relative permeability of the steel pipe and the metal residue are both larger values than the relative permeability of the space, even if the metal residue is present in the steel pipe,
The impedance of the detection coil does not change, and no voltage change occurs in the detection coil.

すると、金属残留物を検出できる。As described above, in a state where a relatively weak magnetic field that does not magnetically saturate only the steel pipe and does not magnetically saturate the metal residue is generated, the impedance of the detection coil greatly changes. By measuring the voltage change, metal residues can be detected.

できる。It is known that if the magnetic field generated on the steel pipe is weak, it is difficult to detect surface flaws generated on the surface of the steel pipe. Therefore, by adjusting the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated in the steel pipe to such an extent that the metal residue is easily detected and the surface flaw is hard to detect, only the metal residue can be detected without being affected by the surface flaw.

の形状、材質等により異なる。The strength of a relatively weak magnetic field that magnetically saturates only the steel pipe and does not magnetically saturate the metal residue differs depending on the material and dimensions of the test material. Need to be sought. The magnetic field applied to the steel pipe by supplying a current to the magnetic saturation coil has a high magnetic flux density at the center of the magnetic saturation coil, and the magnetic flux density decreases as the distance from the magnetic saturation coil increases. The change in the magnetic flux density differs depending on the shape of the magnetic saturation coil, the shape and the material of the steel pipe, and the like.

態となるように磁気飽和コイルと検出コイルを間隔を存
して設置すれば、金属残留物を検出できる。Therefore, even when a relatively strong magnetic field is applied to the magnetic saturation coil for detecting surface flaws, a relatively small amount of magnetic saturation of only the steel pipe around the detection coil and no magnetic saturation of metal residues is detected around the detection coil. If the magnetic saturation coil and the detection coil are arranged at intervals so as to generate a weak magnetic field, metal residues can be detected.

的に低い周波数の交流電圧を検出コイルに供給すると、
より有効に金属残留物を検出できる。Furthermore, since the metal residue is inside the steel pipe, it is necessary to allow sufficient magnetism to penetrate the steel pipe. The lower the frequency of the AC voltage supplied to the detection coil, the more deeply the magnetism of the detection coil can penetrate the steel pipe, so if a relatively low frequency AC voltage is supplied to the detection coil,
Metal residues can be detected more effectively.

It is clear from the above that supplying an AC voltage of 2 to 8 kHz to the detection coil makes it easier to detect bead dust. Incidentally, the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated when a current of 5 A is supplied to the magnetic saturation coil is about 1.5T.

とビード屑検出能との関係は変化する。FIG. 9 shows that when the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated at the center of the steel pipe is 0.1 to 0.4 T, only the bead dust can be easily detected, and the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated at the center of the steel pipe is reduced. It is clear that only 0.4T or more can easily detect only surface flaws. By the way, this test material is magnetically saturated when a magnetic field is applied so that the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated at the center of the steel pipe becomes about 0.1 T. Therefore, when only bead dust is detected in this test material, The magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated in the center of the test material around the detection coil for detecting metal residue is 100 to 400% of the magnetic flux density at which the magnetic saturation occurs.
It is optimal to apply a magnetic field of The optimum strength of the magnetic field applied to the steel pipe in order to detect only the bead debris varies depending on the material and dimensions of the test material, and for example, as shown in FIG. The relationship between the strength of the magnetic field and the ability to detect bead debris changes.

よって表面疵を確実に検出できる。As shown in FIG. 11, when the distance between the detection coil for detecting metal residue and the magnetic saturation coil is set to about 0.3 to 0.5 m, the bead dust can be reliably detected. Incidentally, the reason why the magnetic field was applied so that the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated in the central portion of the steel pipe was 1.6 T is that the conventional magnetic saturation coil in which a detection coil for detecting surface flaws is disposed for detecting surface flaws. Is the strength of the magnetic field applied to the steel pipe, and if the detection coil for metal residue detection and the magnetic saturation coil are installed with the above-mentioned interval, bead chips are detected and the surface flaw is detected by the detection coil for surface flaw detection. Can be detected.

留物の検出を行えばよい。The distance between the magnetic saturation coil and the detection coil for detecting metal residue and the frequency of the AC voltage supplied to the detection coil for detecting metal residue were determined experimentally for each steel pipe, and the frequency of the detection coil for detecting metal residue was determined in advance. It is only necessary to set various conditions of the position and the voltage to be supplied to the detection coil for metal residue detection, and detect the metal residue.

Further, a plurality of metal residue detection detection coils may be installed at predetermined intervals for each steel pipe to be inspected, or the apparatus may be configured to be movable. Further, if the detection coil for detecting the metal residue is symmetrically disposed around the magnetic saturation coil, the detection accuracy can be improved.

留物と表面疵の検出および弁別が容易となる。As described above, according to the method of the present invention, a metal residue in a steel pipe can be automatically detected at high speed and without contact, in distinction from surface flaws. Further, in the method of the present invention, since the metal residue can be detected without being affected by the length of the steel pipe, the detection accuracy does not change even if the length of the steel pipe varies.
In addition, since the detection device to be used can be made small, the installation place is not limited. In particular, when integrated with the eddy current device for surface flaw detection, more effective use of space can be achieved, and detection and discrimination of metal residues and surface flaws can be facilitated.
