Latest Patents

Wan is named on 1 patent: “Differential Eddy Current Internal Inspection Probe, Arrayed Probe, and Defect Inspection Device and Method.” The invention describes a probe with an excitation coil positioned between two symmetrically arranged receiving coils. Their bottom surfaces lie in the same plane.

The probe can inspect inner-surface, buried, and outer-surface defects when a pipeline is magnetized with direct current. Without direct-current magnetization, it is configured to inspect inner-surface defects. The patent also describes an arrayed probe and a defect inspection device and method.
