Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for detecting a discontinuity in the wall of a ferrous object is disclosed, which utilize a bank of sensors where each sensor is configured to detect a difference in magnetic flux across a predefined area. Sets of readings from the sensors are converted to images, from which the existence and location of a discontinuity can be detected. Se describe un método y aparato para detectar una discontinuidad en la pared de un objeto ferroso, que utilizan un banco de sensores donde cada sensor se configura para detectar una diferencia en el flujo magnético a través de un área predefinida. Los conjuntos de lecturas de los sensores se convierten en imágenes, a partir de las cuales puede detectarse la existencia y ubicación de una discontinuidad.
