Abstract
A method includes obtaining a first small defect response at a given frequency of a first small defect on a first wellbore pipe positioned within a wellbore. A Fourier transform of the first small defect response is then calculated, and a first measured response at the given frequency of a first arbitrary metal loss defect in the first wellbore pipe is obtained with a sensor of a pipe inspection tool. A Fourier transform of the first measured response is then calculated, and a magnitude of the first arbitrary metal loss based on the Fourier transform of the first small defect response and the Fourier transform of the first measured response is then estimated.
