This paper aims to develop a method to identify the damage location in circumference direction of a pipe using mode transformation of longitudinal guided wave. The corrosion-like damage in bimetal pipe is considered. Case study that damage detection for a bimetal pipe is used to show the validity and advantage of the proposed method. It can be found that the axially symmetric mode guided wave encounter the damage and the three modes were received in reflection. The damage location in circumferential directions could be identified by conversed modes measured at one position. The simulation shows a good performance.

Small-diameter tubes that are widely used in petroleum industries and power plants experience corrosion during long-term services. In this paper, a compact inserted guided-wave EMAT with a pulsed electromagnet is proposed for small-diameter tube inspection. The proposed transducer is noncontact, compact with high signal-to-noise ratio and unattractive to ferromagnetic tubes. The proposed EMAT is designed with coils-only configuration, which consists of a pulsed electromagnet and a meander pulser/receiver coil. Both the numerical simulation and experimental results validate its feasibility on generating and receiving L(0,2) mode guided wave. The parameters for driving the proposed EMAT are optimized by performance testing. Finally, feasibility on quantification evaluation for corrosion defects was verified by experiments.
