The purpose of this research is to develop nondestructive equipment using magnetic flux leakage(MFL) principle and to confirm the accuracy of the equipment. The equipment consist of a magnetization part, a sensor part, and a data storage part. The parameters of specimens for equipment verification are the length and the area of flaws. It was confirmed that the equipment accurately probed the locations of the flaws in the specimens, and grout had little effect on the results of the test.

This paper aims to develop the AE non-destructive testing equipment and signal analysis method for external tendon of PSC (Pre-Stressed Concrete) bridge. The AE NDT equipment, which has developed in this research, is composed of AE sensor, signal receiver, hitting device, driving part and main frame. Defective and non-defective specimens, designed to emulate signal characteristics for external duct with void(25%, 50% and 100%) or not, were constructed and tested to verify the effectiveness of AE NDT equipment. Test results and AE parameters comparisons between defective and non-defective specimens are presented.
