Non-destructive examination of welds - Eddy current examination of welds by complex plane analysis EN 1711:2000

Publication date:   Feb 2, 2003

Scope

This standard defines eddy current examination techniques for detection of surface breaking and near surface planar imperfections, mainly in ferritic materials(weld material, heat affected zones, parent materials). The eddy current technique can also be applied to other metallic construction materials (e.g.stainless steels). The techniques can be applied to coated and uncoated objects during fabrication and in service, onshore and offshore. The examination can be carried out on all accessible surfaces and on welds of almost any configuration.
