Crack detectors differ from each other mainly in design: the presence or absence of sorting
units, presentation and registration of information, marking of defective areas, magnetization,
etc. Currently, domestic crack detectors of the IPP-1M, TNM1M, IDP-1, ASK- models are widely
used 12, EZTM, DKV-2, VD-20P and -30P.
The IPP-1M crack detector is designed to detect surface defects in rods with round and
hexagonal profiles with a diameter of 4 ... 47 mm, made of ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic
metals and alloys, in the conditions of in-line production. The depth of
the threshold defect for it is 1 ... 2% of the diameter, but not less than
0.1 mm, and the length is 2 mm. Crack detector IDP-1 is used to
detect surface defects in rods 1 ... 5 mm in diameter made of non-
ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic metals and alloys: cracks, hair
lines, cavities, etc. The depth of the threshold defect for it is 0.05
mm. The quality of ferromagnetic welded pipes with a diameter
of up to 60 mm is controlled using an EZTM crack detector. The
leading-through converter, made in the form of a three-turn
transformer system, ensures reliable operation of such a crack
detector at high temperatures, even in the presence of scale and
oils. With its help, lack of penetration in the weld is detected, and its use
makes it possible to exclude hydrotesting. To control the quality of extended
welded structures with a wide range of standard sizes and types of materials, the
VD-30P universal crack detector has been developed.
Comparing the foreign models of this type, the most effective are the crack detectors
developed at the Foerster Institute (Germany). In our country, they are used to control pipes,
rods and wires, mainly from ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials.

with a circular cross-section (rods, pipes), scanning crack detectors with surface-mounted
converters rotating around the object are used: VD-40N, -41N and -43N. These crack detectors
are designed to detect surface defects in welded joints made of ferromagnetic and weakly
magnetic steels, as well as non-ferrous metals and alloys.
