Magnetic-flux-leakage (MFL) measurements are used for corrosion inspection of buried oil and gas pipelines. MFL signals are sensitive to the depth of defects, such as corrosion pits, in the pipe wall and to external stresses generated mainly by the line pressure. MFL signal variations have been studied from the inside wall in the presence of various circumferential bending stresses and magnetic flux densities for three outside wall pits of depths 30 %, 50 % and 80 % of the wall thickness. Magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) measurements have been used to study the stress-induced changes in the direction of the bulk magnetic easy axis and directional anisotropies of the pipe wall. These help one to understand the stress-dependent MFL results.
