The present invention relates to a corrosion examination and non-destructive examination method for a metal pipeline. The instant electromagnetic technology (TEM) is used to examine the average thickness of the wall of the pipeline under the condition that no dig is performed, no corrosion-prevention layer is damaged and the normal running of the pipeline is not influenced. The method is characterized in that when other conditions are the same, the metal pipeline with different wall thicknesses can have obvious time divisibility on a normalized pulse instant-changing responding curved line. The wall thickness of the measured section of the pipe can be obtained by the indication of the known wall thickness and the method of inversing modeling. The present invention also relates to a corrosion examination and non-destructive examination systematic device for the metal pipeline. A virtual instrument is designed and produced with the TEM examination method for the wall thickness of the metal pipeline; a data collector adopts the instant-changing electromagnetic instrument; the control of the instruments, the data processing and the results expression are realized by the software of the computer, so that the expansion property of the instrument is strengthened, and the renewing speed is accelerated, and the complicate data processing analysis can be performed instantly. The device can be widely used for examining the corrosion of the anti-corrosion heat-preservation pipeline in the industries such as the petroleum industry, the petrochemical industry, the fuel gas industry, the electric power industry, the water supply industry, and the like.
