Up Topic Welding Industry / Technical Discussions / ACFM IS Hot for Underwater Work What About Bridges?
- - By Len Andersen (***) Date 11-22-2010 14:34
Ladies and Gentlemen,
     Reference ACFM and
http://www.csmspace.com

State of the Art, Science, and Reliability of Underwater Welding and Inspection Technology Third International Workshop Houston, Texas • November 17 - 19, 2010 I attended. I heard ACFM as a way to do structure inspection underwater. Find cracks in tubular structures offshore. I had not heard of ACFM before going to Houston and a friend described it as

Alternating

Current

Field

Measurement

, a widely used technique with probes as with eddy current NDT but very low voltages and currents.
Below is a run on data bases of organizations that  am a member of. I believe it has bridge applications. I would be happy to answer question about the matter.
Sincerely
Len Andersen

Len,

While that is not an area I am into and I did not read everything, I thank you for your post.  I appreciate every opportunity to learn new things about welding and inspecting.  Helps keep me up to date on things going on around me.

Have a Great Day,  Brent
