Introduction
The eddy current testing (ET) described in this document has the objective of detecting defects located
on or near the surface in copper and copper alloy rods, bars, hollow rods and wires in a non-destructive
way.
The eddy current test referenced in this document is able to detect significant discontinuities of the
short abrupt type (typical defects e.g. cracks, laps, fins, shells, rolled-in matter) by the differential
method with encircling test coils. Inhomogeneities evenly extending longitudinally over a large area
cannot always be detected with this method.
The purpose of this document is not to define a method of measuring the actual extent of the material
inhomogeneities, as the signal amplitude is also depending of factors e.g. volume, form and position of
the inhomogeneity.
For the tested rods, bars, hollow rods and wires with no inhomogeneities detected, no conclusions can
be drawn as to the functionality of the parts made from these rods, bars, hollow rods and wires.

1 Scope
This document specifies a procedure for fully automatic eddy current testing with no operator
involvement with an encircling test coil for detecting defects on the surface of copper and copper alloy
rods, bars, hollow rods and wires with a minimum diameter or width across flats defined in the relevant
product standards.
This test method can be continuous or discontinuous depending on the product.
The product size range and test acceptance level are defined in the relevant product standards.

4 General requirements
The eddy current testing method with self-comparison mode using encircling test coils is employed. A
suitable encircling test coil corresponding to the dimension of the rods, bars, hollow rods or wires to be
tested is chosen. Since the distribution density of eddy currents decreases as the distance from the test
coil increases, the amplitude of defect signals also decreases with increasing distance from the test coil.
The mechanical arrangement shall be chosen in order that the material can pass through the test coil as
concentrically and vibration-
