Abstract: A water pipe used underwater is required as a method of supplying domestic water to remote islands. In order to ensure this safety, it is necessary to develop maintenance technology for underwater structures. In this research, the deterioration state of the water pipe is clarified, and the remaining life is judged by electromagnetic non-destructive inspection. This method uses the pulse ECT technology.

Keywords: Non-destructive inspection, pulse eddy current testing, water pipes
