The single absolute coil arrangement is flexible and can be utilized in various configurations, including probe coils, encircling coils, and inside diameter coils.

This versatility is due to the design of the single absolute coil, which effectively measures the changes in magnetic field strength as it is placed in proximity to the conductive test material. In encircling coils, the coil surrounds the entire object, allowing for comprehensive coverage and detection of flaws throughout the material's surface. Probe coils, on the other hand, can be used for targeted inspections, making them suitable for detecting flaws in specific areas. Additionally, inside diameter coils enable inspection within hollow objects, which is essential for evaluating features or defects located within pipes or tubes.

The ability of the single absolute coil to function across these different configurations makes it advantageous for varied testing scenarios in non-destructive testing (NDT), ensuring that comprehensive assessments can be achieved regardless of the shape or orientation of the test sample.
