A device for discovering, identification and monitoring, of mechanical flaws in metallic structures is disclosed, based on magneto-graphic/magnetic tomography technique to identify stress-related defects. The device can determine the position of the defect or stress including depth information. The device includes registration means that optimized for use with metallic structures of various types, shapes, and sizes. Applications include a real-time quality control, monitoring and emergency alarms, as well structural repairs and maintenance work recommendations and planning. Examples of the device implementation include pipes for oil and gas industry monitoring, detection of flaws in roiled products in metallurgical industry, welding quality of heavy duty equipment such as ships, reservoirs, bridges, etc. It is especially important for loaded constructions, such as pressured pipes, infrastructure maintenance, nuclear power plant monitoring, bridges, corrosion prevention and environment protection.

An equipment is described to be moved through the inside of ducts (pig), carrying on-board instruments which basically comprise an electronics module (3), a battery module (4), MMM magnetic sensors (6) and an odometrical system (7, 8), and which are intended for detecting and measuring structural anomalies and stress concentration zones in rigid or flexible ducts made of a metallic material and located on land or in the depths of the sea (offshore) by non-destructive metal magnetic memory (MMM) testing.

A system and apparatus are described for measuring magnetic flux in a wellbore casing. In an example, the apparatus includes a primary magnet and a sensor for measuring magnetic flux in the wellbore casing created by the primary magnet. The primary magnet can have magnetic pole pieces at either end that help guide the magnetic flux into the wellbore casing. Focusing magnets can be placed on both ends of the primary magnet so that the focusing magnets are separated from the primary magnet by the magnetic pole pieces. The magnetic flux created by the focusing magnets reduces dispersion of the primary magnet's magnetic flux by forcing magnetic flux from the primary magnet that would otherwise disperse to flow toward the sensor. The sensor can output a signal with magnetic flux readings. A computing device can receive the signal and detect discontinuities in the wellbore casing.
