Abstract:
The present invention quickly carries out quantitative evaluation of a defect of a magnetic member. An inspection probe ( 100 ), which includes: a third magnet ( 4 ) polarized in a direction intersecting a counter surface facing a magnetic member; a Hall element ( 11 ) that detects a density of a magnetic flux passing through the third magnet ( 4 ) and the magnetic member, is used to apply, to an output signal from the Hall element ( 11 ), an evaluation algorithm which is selected according to whether a defective surface is a front surface or a back surface.

Claim (Index 5):
The method as set forth in  claim 4 , wherein:\n the magnetic sensor outputs a voltage value according to a density of a magnetic flux; the step (C) includes the step of\n (E) calculating a cross section deficiency ratio that is a ratio of an area of a deficient portion to an area of an entire portion of a cross section perpendicular to the axis of the magnetic pipe; and \n in the step (E), the cross section deficiency ratio of the magnetic pipe is calculated in accordance with (i) a cross section deficiency ratio calculating formula which is set in advance based on a relationship between (a) a combined value obtained by combining output voltage values from the respective magnetic sensors in a case where a plurality of types of defects formed on a test magnetic pipe are measured by the magnetic sensors and (b) each of actual cross section deficiency ratios of the respective plurality of types of defects formed on the test magnetic pipe and (ii) a combined value obtained by combining output voltage values from the respective magnetic sensors in a case where the magnetic pipe is measured.
