| Abstract | Integrity of pipelines is of vital importance to their performance. This entails routine inspection using a variety of different inspection tools. One of the most popular type of tools is based upon Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL). In this technique, the MFL tool magnetically saturates the pipe and in locations where defects exist, flux leaks out of the pipe and is detected by a set of on-board sensors. There are two different geometric configurations of an MFL tool, namely, axial and circumferential. Understanding the magnetic behaviour of these tools is critical is the MFL technique is to be successful. This paper details 2D and 3D finite element (FE) modelling of a circumferential magnetiser at rest and at typical operating speeds. 2D modelling of a stationary MFL tool indicates that pipe saturation can occur for a variety of pipe dimensions provided the magnets are correctly sized. However, this 2D modelling assumes a constant cross-sectional area and thus neglects tool and effects. This is rectified by the creation of several 3D models. It can be seen from these 3D models that end effects are significant and that pipe saturation is not as easily achieved as it was in 2D. Further, it is shown that when the MFL tool moves at constant speed down the pipe, the magnetic field profile in the pipe observed under stationary conditions is significantly altered. The significance of this effect depends on the operational speed of the tool, the material properties of the pipe and the dimensions of the pipe (pipe diameter and wall thickness). The 3D modelling presented suggests that under certain conditions the level of flux in the pipe is less than ideal (i.e. lacking the required magnetic intensity and homogeneity) and, for these conditions, the circumferential MFL technique may have difficulty detecting and sizing pipe anomalies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
