Abstract

See full text

A method of detecting a defect in a weld joining a first surface of a polyethylene-based material and a second surface of a polyethylene-based material, said method comprising the steps of: positioning a first electrode and a second electrode in proximity to the weld, so that at least one electric field line passes through said weld when a potential difference is applied between said first and second electrodes, measuring an electrical capacitance at a measurement frequency between said first electrode and said second electrode, the measurement frequency being higher than 65 MHz and lower than 1 GHz in order to compare the measured electrical capacitance to a reference value.
