Sensor supported, positioned, or moved within pipe:
(under subclass 219) Subject matter wherein the material tested is a tube and the sensor has (1) means to transport the sensor through the tube, or (2) a support to position or hold the sensor within the tube.
(1) Note. The subcombination of a magnetic sensor and a support to hold, position, or move the sensor within a pipe is here.
(2) Note. An indicator of the distance traveled by the magnetic sensor in the pipe may be additionally claimed.
