Abstract

In the oil and gas industry, to assess the technical condition of equipment, diagnostic methods and tools are used aimed at identifying defects that are unacceptable, according to regulatory documents. In places where mechanical stress is concentrated, microdefects in the metal structure arise, which, under the influence of static and dynamic loads, develop into macrodefects that cause equipment destruction. To identify areas of concentration of mechanical stress and localize metal microdamages, it is proposed to use a non-contact, high-performance electromagnetic-acoustic diagnostic method. But existing electromagnetic-acoustic diagnostic tools lack sensitivity and information content. The article provides an analysis of the influence of the stress-strain state of the metal on the parameters of electromagnetic-acoustic transformation in order to identify additional informative parameters and methods for their processing to solve the problem of identifying the stress-strain state and damage to the metal structure of oil and gas equipment.
