Optimization of magnetizing systems for flaw detectors of drill pipes

Abstract

The paper discusses methods for optimizing magnetizing systems of portable flaw detectors for drill pipes, the main purpose of which is to reduce weight, reduce energy consumption and create a more uniform magnetic field in the working area. The disadvantages of traditionally used systems are outlined and three ways to improve them are proposed.
