Abstract:
A method of inspecting a joint of a heat exchanger comprises: scanning the heat exchanger 10 with an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) sensor 110 by scanning the EMAT sensor 110 over an area of the heat exchanger 10 in a scanning pattern; collecting data from the EMAT sensor 110; analysing the data; and determining a status of the joint based on the analysed data.
